WHY WE TRAVEL is filled with personal stories and anecdotes, quotes that inspire, and reasons to motivate—plus images so lush you can’t wait to be there. For years Patricia Schultz has been telling us where to travel, and we love listening. Now, in telling us why to travel, she reveals what makes her such a compelling guide and what makes travel such a richly rewarding experience. There’s the time she was on safari in Zambia yet found her most lasting memory in a classroom of five-year-olds. The comedy of mishaps that she and friends endured on a canal trip through southern France—and how it brought them together in an unexpected way. She quotes favorite authors and luminaries on the importance of travel and, in a series of memorable aphorisms, gets to the essence of why to travel. And gives us a few travel hacks, too. Travel is, as the writer Pico Iyer says, the thing that causes us to “stay up late, follow impulse, and find ourselves as wide open as when we are in love.” Why We Travel is all about rekindling that feeling. Just book a ticket, pack a bag, and dive headlong into an adventure. Patricia Schultz is the author of the #1 New York Times bestsellers 1,000 Places to See Before You Die and 1,000 Places to See in the United States and Canada Before You Die. She is a veteran travel journalist with over thirty years of experience, writing for Frommer’s, Berlitz, and Access travel guides, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Condé Nast Traveler, and other magazines and newspapers. Her home base is in New York City, but good luck finding her there! Born and raised in Chicago, Steven Shalowitz worked in account management on international brands for Young & Rubicam (Y&R) Advertising in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh City and Singapore. While in Singapore, he also produced & hosted a Latin Music radio show at the weekend, the World Music & Latin Music Channels for Singapore Airlines In-flight, was a voice-over talent, acted in film, and wrote for one of the country’s newspapers. After his 16 years in Asia, Steven moved to New York to work for Y&R. While there, he launched “The One Way Ticket Show” podcast which he now devotes himself to full time as both host and producer. Now in its 10th season, on the show, he explores with his acclaimed guests where they would go if given a one way ticket, no coming back. Destinations may be in the past, present, future, real, imaginary or state of mind.
