What is the meaning of travel?

​

For me, the meaning of travel lies in the pursuit of possibilities to live and create new stories. It involves exploring the potential journeys that can only exist within chance encounters. These fragments of narratives will serve as material for a new story at some point in the future.

 

Although the connections I establish among the pieces allow me to invent relationships between the characters, I am by no means the arbiter of the story's ending. Paths are laid out in the spatiotemporal chaos that is the world, and all you can do is believe in serendipity and wait for them to unfold.

 

Friendship, love, history, cinema, and literature have provided me with some of the characters in this book. Any resemblance to living individuals or those who have actually or fictionally existed is purely coincidental.
