Document Summary
All travel can be intentional or accidental. Travel and tourism: accidental any place is better than here, intentional. The spaces and places that resonate with us and give meaning to our lives. Who we might be if only life was one permanent vacation. The course uses: your experience > your past > on line text > class > future . The here and now is always contextualized by an awareness of the landscape with which we engage. The environmental, economic, and social dynamics of space and place at any point in time. Lifelong learning is the journey of discovery to enlightenment. Quotes: theroux my destination was merely my excuse to take the trip . One of the paradoxes of otherness is that travel each conceives the other to be a foreigner. It has nothing to do with distance or the exotic.
