De Botton gives many reasons. Iain and I talk about escape, adventure, culture (art, food, historic sites) and curiosity as a few.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"auto\">De Botton uses artists and writers like Wordsworth, Van Gogh, Hopper and Ruskin to make his points. However, in the 21st century we rely on FaceBook, Instagram and iPhone. We discuss the pros and cons of this technology when traveling.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"auto\">How do artists and writers influence our traveling choices?<\/li>\n<li dir=\"auto\">Is it more fun to plan the trip or actually go on the trip?<\/li>\n<li dir=\"auto\">Travel styles can vary from one person to the next and may depend on the actual reasons for the travel. Choices are made between a destination of country or city\u2014that is solitude vs community.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"auto\">Finally, the return home. Lessons learned and what did you leave and what did you return to? De Botton says, \u201cI returned to London from Barbados to find that the city had stubbornly refused to change.\u201d And a quote from Pascal, \u201cThe sole cause of a man\u2019s unhappiness is that he does not know how to stay quietly in his room.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">LISTEN NOW: <a class=\"oajrlxb2 g5ia77u1 qu0x051f esr5mh6w e9989ue4 r7d6kgcz rq0escxv nhd2j8a9 nc684nl6 p7hjln8o kvgmc6g5 cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x jb3vyjys rz4wbd8a qt6c0cv9 a8nywdso i1ao9s8h esuyzwwr f1sip0of lzcic4wl py34i1dx gpro0wi8\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/l.facebook.com\/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FFreedomTravel18%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR0wnKPtB1E9BwBXas_IRdi97zeX948jvC_tlpQF03DrsLpKIVMcrIZYXA8&amp;h=AT0d1EeCt1WEFr9-oY88siAGOiu5wkaDq_f5atmsds-laVueDdkIpX9hgpjGyX1gJrM2IK3W6LK6o1jHlJyEKmrvlM0pKAreR2Dt-ZGi4Sweg3b40CZwwHyS0MYl7pimhfmi1-UgPg&amp;__tn__=-UK-R&amp;c[0]=AT0MuMUepvKplh_pP_HN2OQFZA8PVQZnGofiP6kTEahrQ9zRmtAVfrOL85pZUgKgqtprzMQUhd1A7lbeWv8DuH3pf0QR5mbDxpJ64HoDzpl2CvXhN86rwRLsTv46ULV1CD74sL7iCLiIo2RuoHiygVq5Sc6qcYa3MCeQ3L7oKd-SWaVgqlHOXfi0HHkr6W6OUJhNwe8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/FreedomTravel18<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q\">\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Links:<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Purchase the book on Amazon: <a class=\"oajrlxb2 g5ia77u1 qu0x051f esr5mh6w e9989ue4 r7d6kgcz rq0escxv nhd2j8a9 nc684nl6 p7hjln8o kvgmc6g5 cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x jb3vyjys rz4wbd8a qt6c0cv9 a8nywdso i1ao9s8h esuyzwwr f1sip0of lzcic4wl py34i1dx gpro0wi8\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Art-Travel-Alain-Botton\/dp\/0375725342?fbclid=IwAR0wnKPtB1E9BwBXas_IRdi97zeX948jvC_tlpQF03DrsLpKIVMcrIZYXA8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">www.amazon.com\/Art-Travel-Alain-Botton\/dp\/0375725342<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">Watch a moving 49 minute Youtube video where Alain de Botton talks about the book: <a class=\"oajrlxb2 g5ia77u1 qu0x051f esr5mh6w e9989ue4 r7d6kgcz rq0escxv nhd2j8a9 nc684nl6 p7hjln8o kvgmc6g5 cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x jb3vyjys rz4wbd8a qt6c0cv9 a8nywdso i1ao9s8h esuyzwwr f1sip0of lzcic4wl py34i1dx gpro0wi8\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/l.facebook.com\/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DkETN114A4IE%26fbclid%3DIwAR3DqLKvixBpll0bxg46NeqJqs-XKUEnIEdB--xo2UoNbJhi3o46MVP9EAA&amp;h=AT2u91hRtrbZxO4hsuSmM6OkpKumxT_PNTAunFY4vrQ5jucDFC0UcvlyHFwYptt9ctiCZA1RAx__ndeIGdjYmMK3s0xCwFKNWxNPDGXKsr-BMUTM7ImXVZsQ-AqTrmUC2kDzymDd7g&amp;__tn__=-UK-R&amp;c[0]=AT0MuMUepvKplh_pP_HN2OQFZA8PVQZnGofiP6kTEahrQ9zRmtAVfrOL85pZUgKgqtprzMQUhd1A7lbeWv8DuH3pf0QR5mbDxpJ64HoDzpl2CvXhN86rwRLsTv46ULV1CD74sL7iCLiIo2RuoHiygVq5Sc6qcYa3MCeQ3L7oKd-SWaVgqlHOXfi0HHkr6W6OUJhNwe8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kETN114A4IE<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">Visit Alain de Button\u2019s website: <a class=\"oajrlxb2 g5ia77u1 qu0x051f esr5mh6w e9989ue4 r7d6kgcz rq0escxv nhd2j8a9 nc684nl6 p7hjln8o kvgmc6g5 cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x jb3vyjys rz4wbd8a qt6c0cv9 a8nywdso i1ao9s8h esuyzwwr f1sip0of lzcic4wl py34i1dx gpro0wi8\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/l.facebook.com\/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Falaindebotton.com%2Ftravel%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR3eExNjYvFKici8dv7wnd4YRjljlF1lO1Dm6SzRyvnzTu-5BVihBZVphhw&amp;h=AT2BJgX7mDEs6JiOk9y9K9OZVGl-oQ3xEm3CkkMrdVIHIWWpBZb5ux2K9CJaxJkzPAnBzlCIsKp5L8G-SJgDOwcM1zoJ2_VJd_nvmfnpeg5Tj4P9cnnAYVB5Q0v0Yb2xnWrxOX9hdQ&amp;__tn__=-UK-R&amp;c[0]=AT0MuMUepvKplh_pP_HN2OQFZA8PVQZnGofiP6kTEahrQ9zRmtAVfrOL85pZUgKgqtprzMQUhd1A7lbeWv8DuH3pf0QR5mbDxpJ64HoDzpl2CvXhN86rwRLsTv46ULV1CD74sL7iCLiIo2RuoHiygVq5Sc6qcYa3MCeQ3L7oKd-SWaVgqlHOXfi0HHkr6W6OUJhNwe8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">alaindebotton.com\/travel<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q\">\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">As always, please listen &amp; subscribe if you enjoy this episode\u2014it\u2019s free and will notify you of future episodes!
