Once you have finished the readings, think about what travel means to you. Why do you think people travel? And what do you think are the most important things for people to keep in mind if they're going to leave home? Post an idea to this week's Discussion Board, making sure to support your ideas with at least two references/quotes from the readings by Pico Iyer, Thomas Swick, and Carl Thompson.
