What Just Happened?

The Essence of Place - Why We Travel (Ep. 52)


Listen Later

Why do we travel? What makes us spend our money to leave familiar surroundings, sit in an airplane, and trek into unknown places? As David prepares for a trip to Asia, we spend some time talking about our travel experiences, where we'd love to visit, and what drives us (or doesn't) to pick up and go. David talks about how he's trying to change from a "travel scrooge" to a fearless(ish) wanderer, and Eugene reveals the one form of travel he would never, ever do. Thanks for listening!

"Travel isn't always pretty. It isn't always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that's okay. The journey changes you. It SHOULD change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind." - Anthony Bourdain
