The use of travelling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.

Traveling is one expression of the desire to cross boundaries.

Traveling is one of few zones of experience where you are not directly plugged into the world around you. You're not part of the society you're passing through.

One of the things I'm fascinated by as a traveler is watching how different countries control how they let the world encounter them.

I've always enjoyed traveling and having experience with different cultures and different people. But it's also a wonderful thing to be able to benefit and enable research, not only in our country but around the world.

Traveling gives you some perspective of what the rest of the world is like. I think that having the courage to step out of the norm is the most important thing.

Travel, which was once either a necessity or an adventure, has become very largely a commodity, and from all sides we are persuaded into thinking that it is a social requirement, too.

I try to travel as much as I can... I'm always looking for a reason to.
