I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. Will the concept of a “vacation” as we know it, packing bags, booking flights, standing in immigration lines, still exist in 20 or 30 years? Or will we simply slide on an…
I was in Athens recently, climbing the steps up to the Acropolis with a human guide walking me through the history of the Parthenon. He was good. But somewhere on those steps it hit me: I don’t need him. I…
