We will glance at each other briefly, wordlessly, across the cigar room or the library or whirlpool and know that we have made it, that we have put aside the cares of the world, that we have only to rest, to read, to play, to sleep - and that we we wake, we shall be in another time zone, another country.

![I woke up to Spencer linking me to this bonerific interview of Anthony Bourdain on BootsnAll: How I Travel and oh boy if I wasn’t in love before you guys.
here are some of my favorite quotes:
“I love Uruguay. And Colombia is awesome. It gets a bad rap, but that’s a fantastic place to go these days.”
“Medellin deserves to be more popular than it is. Really. Also Cartagena. Montevideo. Beirut.”
“Drink. A lot. With everybody. Be grateful and appreciative.”
“Research. It’s useful and polite to read up [on a place] as not doing so can lead to embarrassment. Try giving the “A-okay” circled finger and thumb gesture in some parts of the world and see what happens.”
“My favorite destination to visit is…Viet Nam? No. Spain? No. Italy? Japan? I love Saigon, Barcelona, San Sebastian, Venice, Rome, Tokyo, Osaka.”
so if I wasn’t already stoked on having traveled to Spain and planning to travel to Uruguay, this interview just boosted my excitement to the Nth degree. absolutely happy that I choose my destinations according to this man’s footprints.
