Langewiesche on the Zeitgeist of Travel

“American Ground” author and Atlantic Monthly contributor William Langewiesche sat for a brief interview with Savvy Traveler host Diana Nyad last week. Langewiesche, who worked as a pilot before becoming one of the Atlantic’s star writers, offers some much appreciated against-the-grain insight into the current psychology of travelers, particularly American travelers. “The idea that we’re facing a fundamental change in travel is pretty shortsighted,” he says. During the same program, Jake Warga offers a piece about “traveling without a purpose,” which means he just set out without a plan. It’s a practice we advocate every once in a while, and a story we’re happy to recommend.
