Travel Thought for the Week

“Of all the motives for taking off, perhaps too much has been made of those lofty goals of mastering a new language, meeting people, learning about another culture. Education is doubtless a noble aspiration, but not enough, in my opinion, has been said about the advantages of ignorance. Personally I would prefer to go places where I don’t speak the language or know anybody, where I easily lose my direction and have no delusions that I’m in control. Feeling disoriented, even frightened, I find myself awake, alive, in ways I never would at home.”
-- Michael Mewshaw, American novelist, Playing Away
