Travel teaches you how little you really know

“Travel is not just a great education, but most of all it teaches you how little you know when you’re very far away. When I make physical journeys in the world, what I try to do is to choose those places that will most contradict or at least compliment reality as I know it in California.”
–Pico Iyer, from “A New Kind of Travel for a New Kind of World”, a speech given at the Key West Literary Seminar, January 5, 2006
