Travel

"Travel is little beds and cramped bathrooms. It's old television sets and slow Internet connections. Travel is extraordinary conversations with ordinary people. It's waiters, gas station attendants, and housekeepers becoming the most interesting people in the world. It's churches that are compelling enough to enter. It's McDonald's being a luxury. It's the realization that you may have been born in the wrong country. Travel is a smile that leads to a conversation in broken English. Travel is the same white T-shirt again tomorrow. Travel is accented sex after good wine and too many cigarettes. Travel is flowing in the back of a bus with giggly strangers. Travel is wishing for one more bite of whatever that just was. It's sharing a bottle of liquor on an overnight train with a new friend."

Travel is "Maybe I don't have to do it that way when I get back home"
