One can only really travel if one lets oneself go

“One can only really travel if one lets oneself go and takes what every place brings without trying to turn it into a healthy private pattern of one’s own, and I suppose that is the difference between travel and tourism.”
–Freya Stark, Riding to the Tigris (1959)
