There’s always a post or an article or an e-book about how to live a life filled with travel, but I think it may come down to why some people have lives more peppered with travel than others do.

Sometimes travel isn’t about seeing everything. Sometimes it’s just about slowing down. About letting a place passively become a part of your life, even if it’s just for a few days.
If gambling, chain smoking and drunken debauchery aren’t your things, there are still a few ways to love Vegas. Let me count them for you.

There’s something about tasting food in a new country that’s a little like magic. Like the essence of that country transformed into the meal before you with the sole purpose of making you understand the place and its people.
Eating might be one of my greatest loves—new food, home food, strange food (I recently ate a termite in Belize)—I’ll take it all. Happily. But eating local food, to me, is the truest way to a country’s soul. In China, what did it for me was the dumplings.
