class="nodetitle">Travel

<br>I really like Thomas Swick's definition of travel: Today I think of travel as anything that extends one's realm of experience or expands one's lexicon of <a href="https://www.bing.com/search?q=acquired%20convictions&form=MSNNWS&mkt=en-us&pq=acquired%20convictions">acquired convictions</a> and occurs beyond the backyard (this distinguishing it from reading). From "Charmed Lives: Reflections of a Travel Editor on Abroad and Home" The Oxford American. March/April 2001, p. 58. Swick relays in his <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/search?searchtext=article">article</a>; a story about "traveling" to a friend's house, <a href="https://jetblacktransportation.com/">JetBlack</a>; where the style of parenting was 180 degrees from anything he knew. In his mind, this was traveling to a foreign place as much as going to Paris. <br>
