本书好评
A philosophical and anthropological exploration of how the act of travelling alters the traveller (Nick Hunt, author of 'Where the Wild Winds Are')

A highly intelligent and deeply engaging book that examines not only the beauty but also the importance of travel (Thomas Swick, author 'The Joys of Travel: And Stories that Illuminate Them')

You may have visited the Taj Mahal and the Great Wall of China, but if you haven't read this book, you may not have traveled. From deep experience and insight, Craig Storti, with clarity, humor, and a grand sense of history, shows how travel does matter. In practical steps, he demonstrates ways we can go beyond mere tourism to become enlightened participants in new places everywhere. For all travelers-not to mention interculturalists-this book is a must. (Fanchon Silberstein, Former Director The Overseas Briefing Center, US Dept. of State)

In this invaluable book Craig Storti compellingly answers the question: "Why does travel matter?" He differentiates between travel and tourism then makes the case that travel guarantees that the person who set out on a journey is not the same one who returns. His treasury of quotes vividly illuminates his points, adding rich context to this captivating work. The farther I got into this book, the more I wished I had read it 50 years ago. Craig captures concepts that took me a long time to learn on both about how the world works and about myself. His point: travel is both an inner and outer journey. (Sandra M. Fowler, President-Elect SIETAR USA)
