The Traveler's Condition
Original title: El oficio de ser extranjero
A reflection on travel as a process of self-discovery that broadens our vision of the world.
Travel is a complex phenomenon that entails processes of self-knowledge and transformation. Drawing on his own experiences, Roger Bartra reflects on why travel is not merely a physical displacement but also a cultural and emotional distancing that confronts our identity and origins with the world around us.
