’Tis the season for vacations, so let me make my pitch that the best travel is not lounging at a beach resort but rather journeying into a different world.
So I preach both travel and prudence, and on a recent book tour, I found myself often asked about travel advice I had mentioned in my memoir.
The most memorable travel often involves encountering something unfamiliar, so consider escaping the herds parading through Paris.
A teenager from an affluent family in the New York or Boston areas would step into a different world by taking a ranch job in Wyoming.
And this is the kind of travel that is not only affordable but actually pays for the experience.
