Why We Travel uses the reasons why we travel to explore human motivation and looks deeply at what we can gain from venturing out into the world.
From epic global expeditions to microadventures closer to home, Bhardwaj recalls his travels from Uganda to Ukraine and calls on the insights of philosophers, athletes and scientists to help him explore what drives our longing for adventure.
Why We Travel is both a highly personal and universal book, recounting Bhardwaj’s connection’s with his Indian heritage and his struggles with grief and identity. It asks how healing and hardship can be overcome in travel, and how serendipity and wonder can help awaken us to our surroundings and leave us more connected to the people and places around us.
