    From the back of the book. "If you've ever wanted to backpack or study abroad in Europe... If you want to relive your adventures... If you love good travel writing..." And this G.K.Chesterton's quote at the beginning of the book, "The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one's own country as a foreign land."
