FOREWORD

There are many to whom new places are only new pictures. But, aftermuch wandering, this thing I have learned, and I wish I had learned itsooner: that travel is a matter, not only of seeing, but of doing.

It is much more than that. It is a matter of new human contacts. Itis not of places, but of people. What are regions but the setting forlife? The desert, without its Arabs, is but the place that God forgot.

To travel, then, is to do, not only to see. To travel best is to be ofthe sportsmen of the road. To take a chance, and win; to feel the glowof muscles too long unused; to sleep on the ground at night and findit soft; to eat, not because it is time to eat, but because one's bodyis clamoring for food; to drink where every stream and river is pureand cold; to get close to the earth and see the stars—this is travel.
