The travel and tourism industry is the lifeblood of many states around the country - including Florida, California, New York and Nevada, to name a few.

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.

You get educated by traveling.

I am a passionate traveler, and from the time I was a child, travel formed me as much as my formal education. In order to appreciate cultures of another nation, one needs to go there, know the people and mingle with the culture of that country. One way to do that, if one is lucky enough, is to buy things from those cultures.

I am traveling less in order to be able to write more. I select my travel destinations according to their degree of usefulness to my work.

I have always been obsessed with America, the geography, the history, and, of course, the music. I've been lucky enough to have travelled through the country a lot, and, in a kind of anorak way, I've noted which states I've visited and which ones I've been to most often and all that sort of detail.

I like to tour, but I prefer to tour in the United States. If I go overseas, I tend to get into trouble.

One of the main points about travelling is to develop in us a feeling of solidarity, of that oneness without which no better world is possible.

The one thing that's terrible about traveling for fun is writing about it.

If your work requires you to travel, you will understand that there's no vacation destination like home.
