Knowing a few places intimately is infinitely richer than possessing a wide, shallow catalog of the globe.
Totally nailed it with this gem of wisdom.
I never fail to feel unnerved when someone tells me, "I've done or I did... (insert country, city, activity of renown)". Rarely can they tell me how they were enriched by the experience, other than being able to swap notes on how many geographic points they have navigated.
Excellent point to not just "collect coordinates"! Great article.
I find nothing wrong with "exhaustion" as long as it's coupled with plenty of rest. Certainly I walk more when I'm traveling and I absolutely love and thrive on it (even if my feet are reminding me we had a very busy day).
So on point. And it's something I learned the hard way, doing it wrong. Filling my days to the max, crisscrossing cities from one corner to the opposite one just to cover the most places and ending up absolutely exhausted by 5pm. All i need now is a second chance to do it right!

Brilliant.
Lovely, thoughtful writing Ryan. I get it…
