<br>I really like Thomas Swick's definition of travel: Today I think of travel as anything that <a href="https://www.healthynewage.com/?s=extends">extends</a>; one's realm of experience or expands one's lexicon of acquired convictions 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, <a href="https://jetblacktransportation.com/">JetBlack</a>; p. 58. Swick relays in his article a story about "traveling" to a <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/n3/search/?q=friend%27s">friend's</a>; house, 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>
