Seth Stevenson on the forgotten benefit of overland travel

“We’ve forgotten the benefit of surface travel: It forces you to understand, deep in your bones, the distance you’ve covered; and it gradually eases you into a new context that exists not only outside your body, but inside your head.”
–Seth Stevenson, Grounded (2010)

    Just got back from a Gap overland tour in southern Africa. One of the most liberating experiences of my life.
