What many have realized in 2022—or rediscovered—is that travel is a natural antidote to the routine and isolation of the pandemic. Travel requires us to abandon our familiar environment knowing that we will be introduced to the unfamiliar. We will pass through distant landscapes, come to know strangers, and lie down at night on a bed we’ve never slept in before. We do this with the unspoken promise that, when we return home, we might experience a new clarity of what our lives are all about.
