The Idle Traveller by Dan Kieran
As we jet off on holiday, passing from airport lounge to hotel in our desperation to escape our everyday lives and find some better weather, we'd do well to ask ourselves what on earth we're doing. Do we really travel any more, or do we just arrive? The Idle Traveller calls on us all to re-assess why we travel and what travel has become. Besides extolling the virtues of staycation holidaying, Dan Kieran argues we need to bin the brochure, glide rather than fly, embrace disaster, be epic in our travel pursuits and immerse ourselves in the life-changing experience of true journeying. The Idle Traveller is an inspiration to travel more meaningfully and enjoy the journey. Isn't it about time you allowed your travel plans to slow down?
