"...but the point is not necessarily that we move to these places, but rather that we allow these places to move us. I believe, now more than ever, in the transformative promise of geography. Change your location and you may just change yourself. It's not that distant lands contain some special "energy" or that their inhabitants possess secret knowledge (though they may) but rather something more fundamental: by relocating ourselves, we shake loose the shackles of expectation. Adrift in a different place we give ourselves permission to be different people."
