Keep on Moving
We travel for many different reasons – to experience, to explore, to confront, to find ourselves, as well as new places, people and things. We also travel to discover – it’s the tagline of our title, after all – and to seek out the unexpected, around the corner, up a hill or down a valley, whether that’s in our usual whereabouts or in a faraway land.
For some, the notion of perpetual movement – being aloft, at sea or gliding along on rails – is the impetus for ideas, for inspiration and for creativity, be it in a notebook, a sketchbook, on a canvas or on a backlit screen document that will herald the arrival of a great new enterprise.
For others, summertime indolence breeds innovative concepts and ideas, germinated beneath cloudless skies as one ruminates and reflects on a poolside lounger, beachside cabana or in a mountainside chalet. We hope that, wherever it finds you, this edition of – replete with dispatches, reports, round-ups and features that will enhance, improve and enlighten journeys already undertaken and those to come – will be a source of unhurried cogitation. And we hope you enjoy it.
As for me, and in no particular order, I’ll be lighting up a few cigars, practising my short game, listening to the music of the Great American Songbook and chalking up the miles on open country roads, not only daydreaming about when I can get to New Zealand to play the spectacular golf course in the photo above but also working on the many new projects and initiatives we’ve dreamed up for you.
