I think it is human nature to want to stay put.
In a time, way before we could book a flight to the other side of the world, eat the local cuisine, mingle with the locals, and return home in one piece, staying within the constraints of your home was essential.
Today, some people die where they are born with no regrets, yet for others that prospect is terrifying. To live this life without peering into the other side of the world is a modern-day tragedy - to some... Maybe it’s because some people are born wanderers and others are born to hold down the fort. I don’t know.
Yet, what I do know is that sometimes those who stay put can be pulled out of their comfort zone and into the unknown via the artistic medium of travel literature. I know this because I was one of them.
Before stumbling across a few books that celebrated the benefits of travel, I had a small-town syndrome that had at one stage seemed unshakable. Thankfully, I no longer possess this quality.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not a hardened traveller who has seen it all and done it all, but I have found myself more willing to delve into uncomfortable situations in the name of “fuck it, why not?” thanks to books on travel.
Because why not go somewhere on your own? Why not wander down here? Why not eat this thing? What’s the worst that can happen? Often, the only outcome is “Thank God I didn’t shy away from this experience.” If it’s any worse than that, you probably died.
If you need a kick up the arse, an eradication of your small-town syndrome, or a carefully crafted reminder that around the corner of your small patch of land lies a world waiting to be explored, I recommend reading any - if not all - of the books I am going to discuss in this video.
