Why I Travel
Why I Travel is a collection of travel experiences, observations and conversations. This could be a discussion with fellow diners in Lisbon shortly after the 9/11 attacks, dealing with the crowds at the Chelsea Garden show in London or learning about the Russians building the High Aswan Dam in Egypt.
In addition to our genetic makeup, who we are, what we think and how we feel are the result of our experiences and observations. Some changes in who we are can be profound, other times, they may not be noticeable at all. This book is about experiences, observations and situations that have presented themselves in my travels. Most often the best plan was go with the flow and see how and where things ended up.
