Quotes by Thomas Kohnstamm (?)

“When you get older you realize that most everybody's got different versions of the same problem. The trap is thinking that it's all about you.”
― Thomas Kohnstamm, Lake City

“It is my hope that this book will help to demystify the origins of travel writing and show that when thousands of travelers follow a guidebook word-for-word, recommendation-for-recommendation, it not only harms contemporary international travel but can also do serious harm to places in developing countries.”
― Thomas Kohnstamm, Do Travel Writers Go to Hell?: A Swashbuckling Tale of High Adventures, Questionable Ethics, and Professional Hedonism
