Ok, but by that definition, virtually no one travels.
- hueving 9y agoWell some people do, but my point was that to truly get the benefits of travel that Mark Twain was referring to, you can't just dabble. Back when he traveled, this was before airlines and even the Titanic. "Traveling" required spending months to get places far away so you certainly didn't spend just a week in a single place and then return.
- sliverstorm 9y agoCertainly, and I wish I could travel that way. But it's not really an option for many people. My wife & I do still get a lot out of our backpacking travels, which nominally last two weeks but feel like a month or more.
