For more and more of us, home has less to do with a piece of soil than a piece of soul.

We travel, in essence, to become young fools again - to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more.

We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate. We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed. And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again- to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more.
