It's Time to Stop Traveling

The author argues that frequent travel is not as beneficial as commonly assumed and can harm investment in health, work, and relationships. He says that building anything meaningful, from fitness routines to businesses to trust, requires sustained time in one place, and that he was only about 20% effective at work while on the road, compared with his estimate of 80% at home. He also argues that after a few dozen countries, further travel brings diminishing personal returns, and that "fly in, fly out" tourism is a shallow form of travel that treats places as commodities. The piece is cut off before its discussion of health is complete.
