Quotes by Thomas Kohnstamm (?)

“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

“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
