Bewildered travel : the sacred quest for confusion

Why do we travel? Travel is not merely a break from routine; it is its antithesis, a voluntary trading in of the security one feels at home for unpredictability and confusion. This book argues that this confusion, which we might think of simply as a necessary evil, is in fact the very thing we are seeking when we leave home.
