Most people think that traveling independently is frightening and dangerous so they opt out of doing it that way. In reality it’s not as bad as it’s perceived to be. “Traveling alone is no different than traveling in a group, there will always be people and safety resources out there to aid a person in danger “(Fordham).

Today many people have a very fixed view about others in different countries, and what the locals from those countries think about Americans. America was formed so people from other cultures could come and make a life for themselves, and so they could come and enjoy the traditions and ways of America. If people could stop and think about all the good things that other countries have to offer instead of all the bad that the media shows, they could learn to appreciate those countries better. People need to be more open minded about going to other countries because without travel there would be no way of learning about other cultures.

When a character in a piece of literature chooses to travel, the character usually has a purpose confined to the motivations of the individual. Distinct from this, in The Invention of Morel and The Last Voyage of Columbus the journey is a device employed by an author to imbue the travel of a character with purpose. The journey is an experience which comprises much more than travel from one location to another. Journeys can represent a literal or symbolic deviation from the expected path, and ultimately transform a character in the process. In The Last Voyage of Columbus by Martin Dugard, Christopher Columbus rejects preconceived notions of what lies to the West and begins a journey which transforms

When telling their story, the narrators clearly express their aspirations of living an adventurous life. They both view international travel as a vessel for self-discovery and meaningful memories. For example, in Remembering My Childhood on the Continent of Africa, David Sedaris expresses his desires for life-long memories and international travel when he writes, “They weren’t rich, but what Hugh and his family lacked financially they more than made up for with the sort of exoticism that works wonders at cocktail parties, leading always to the remark, ‘that sounds fascinating’.” According to this passage, Sedaris seems to believe that money is less important than experiences and memories themselves.

Ibn Battuta once said, Traveling leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller. Pico Iyer would certainly agree with the quote. In his essay, “Why We Travel” he describes travel as a journey to a subjective zone. It is about the traveler and the place where traveler’s qualities and inputs are crucial since different people have their distinctive perceptions. Suzy Gershman, Jim Benning, and Rajendra Khadka show that they share different approaches from the other character within the story.
