This is a must-read for any traveller before they set out to whatever destination. To be able to artfully and meticulously consider every aspect of travel before starting a journey is a blessing and joy: from the very urge to go somewhere, packing and anticipating the trip, actually setting foot outside your door into an unknown, unfamilar world, actively and and deliberately loving every moment, to returning home, where the whole process begins again.

I have fallen so in love with it, I am contemplating buying a new one while my previous copy feels quite at home near its place of birth (with my sister in Geneva), and possibly travel to New York with her before long.

Not only because I am very Korean and therefore impatient, but because I feel I would like her to always have this book with her, wherever new she may tread foot in the future.
