This is very interesting to me. I have downloaded and will read on my kobo.

There is a certain appeal to the early days of traveling, before the mass market availability that exists today. I think it's that unexplored pioneer type of semi solitude which makes it adventurous. My only analogy is living through the transition from pre internet days to the present saturated social media days.

But a person on YouTube doing the same thing today would result in me just ignoring or at best, fast forwarding through the video. I think future generations might appreciate that same video for other reasons... and think me a moron for not appreciating it.
