"The best of travel seems to exist outside of time,
as though the years of travel are not deducted from
your life. Travel also holds the magical possibility
of reinvention: that you might find a place you love,
to begin a new life and never go home. In a distant
place no one knows you - nearly always a plus. And
you can pretend, in travel, to be different from the
person you are, unattached, enigmatic, younger, richer
or poorer, anyone you choose to be, the rebirth that
many travelers experience if they go far enough."
Paul Theroux
