The Art of Travel

Alain de Botton

Essays / Philosophy

De Botton's philosophical meditation on why we travel, why the reality so often disappoints the anticipation, and what slowing down to notice actually buys us. Resonates with Chesky's framing of Airbnb as a hospitality company that sells belonging, not rooms.

    Chesky posted from his Instagram account about de Botton's argument that modern tourism rushes us past the very things travel should help us notice — a worldview that maps directly onto Airbnb's hospitality framing.
