Travel is experience in cosmic shoes.
It is also an adventure that maps new paths to nature, history, literature, language and other of my interests. And it can educate the whole person, so it is truly cross-disciplinary. Reflection on travel experience, and enhancement of it by reading, brings knowledge and, with application, some wisdom. I have traveled to every continent and since 1984 I have worked on a travel resource guide. The web has plenty of travel sites.
