This gentle book explores our motivations to travel. The author includes some reflections from his own travels as well as writings from Baudelaire and Wordsworth, among others. Exploring the ennui that overcomes us at times in the most beautiful of places and, in contrast, the sublime moments that we recall once back to normality. Mixed with poetry, prints, and fragments of faraway places, it is a charming and thought-provoking read.
