From Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "A spiritual journey sort of book. Its thoughtful ideas about travel - travel of any kind, any distance and to any destination - can make a deeper experience out of any journey."; "This is a "how to book" on making a trip that you are planning, into a pilgrimage. It suggests that any trip can be a pilgrimage but most of the examples reference places of spiritual significance, like Santiago de Compostela or Angkor Wat, but he also mentions secular places like Walden's pond."; "An invitation to go deeper."
