Description
Book Introduction
Everyone has a bucket list filled with fervent desires.
Among them, the dream of setting out on a journey to see the wide world is a fairly solid desire.
How does the desire to travel—to eat well, sleep well, and play to the fullest in an unfamiliar place—come about? It's unclear whether it's an instinct that comes naturally without instruction, or a culture learned through our parents.
More importantly, we live in a world where you can pack your bags for travel at any time.
There is nothing in the world that can stop us from our journey.
The seven diverse people who wrote this book also traveled the globe in search of wonderful places.
Read their travel stories, whispered only to those closest to them.
There are so many wonderful ways to do this, like the spring sunshine in May.

Into the book
My journey did not stop even as I got older.
On that journey, I encountered diverse landscapes, vibrant cultures, and people who left an indelible mark on my soul.
I was inspired to see life from a different perspective by talking to a young artist who sees the world through various colors and brushstrokes on the bustling streets of a foreign city.
Every time I visited a country, I made memories that would last forever, especially by visiting museums and drinking coffee at outdoor cafes.
As time went by, I met wise souls who imparted valuable lessons.
But is life's journey always smooth?
Sometimes, life involves facing difficult times like storms, and the strength I gained from overcoming those adversities during my travels became opportunities for growth.
Every obstacle was an opportunity for growth and resilience.
I learned to adapt, find solutions, and face my fears head on.
Life is not about avoiding obstacles, but overcoming them.
I realized that frustration is just a detour on the road to success, and that failure is not the destination, but a stepping stone to growth.
--- From "Florence, the Shining Jewel of Italy"
The lights of the Sapporo TV Tower on the night street walking to my accommodation were bright.
The number 8:42 glittered in the middle of the iron tower, which had a gold base, purple middle, and silver spire.
The time I wanted to stop also changed little by little.
The television tower was visible from the accommodation as well.
Light was visible beyond the rain-covered window.
--- From "Relationships that Approach with a Faint Excitement Like Fog"
The older regulars who have been coming here for a long time say they like the taste, so I wonder if I'm old enough to fall for the taste of this shop's coffee.
But most of the people lining up in front of the store look to be in their twenties, so it seems that Kitsa Matsuba's coffee doesn't age you.
The long lines for waiting are a tribute to the old taste that was created through various stories, a philosophy about coffee, and a unique effort, and it is proof that enjoying that taste transcends generations.
--- From "Old Cafe and Bookstore without a Restroom"
I said that the only things left from the trip were the entry/exit stamps and photos, but in fact, one thing was missing.
It's a souvenir.
One souvenir I bought in Cairo surprised many people.
Everyone expected to see things like model pyramids and drawings on ancient papyrus, but everyone bought the Pharaoh's coffin, which contained a replica of the Pharaoh's body, expecting to see surprised expressions, and the results were a huge success.
--- From "Cairo, the wondrous chaos of 'empty' like a mother's luxury bag"
“Do you remember the modern street near the sake museum I visited in Kyoto? The atmosphere there was a bit different.
There was an inn where Sakamoto Ryoma was attacked.
I just passed it by.
it's a shame."
“So what?
It's someone else's country's history.
Still, I wish I had gone that far.
“It’s a shame.”
There is a difference between seeing something knowingly and seeing something without knowing.
It's not a pity that I didn't see it because it's someone else's history, but if I had known about it, wouldn't the way I remember that street have been different?
It's not a bad memory to say that it's a bit of a different town even in Kyoto, where there's a museum dedicated to kappa.
--- From "Kyoto Guided by a Guide"
“Peregrino? (Are you a pilgrim?)”
“Si. (Yes, that’s right.)”
The curious and talkative Spaniards started by asking questions, asking where I came from, where I started, and when I would return.
I didn't mind that kind of attention.
Fernando, who had been asking questions for a long time, started talking after hearing the story of how I gave up in the middle because I was greedy and lacked stamina.
“It doesn’t matter how you get to Santiago de Compostela.
It doesn't matter whether you take the bus, walk, or ride a bike.
However, you will have to realize this on your own during the process of going to Santiago.
That's all.
“The beginning of the pilgrimage was also a journey to realize oneself.”
It was the most refreshing answer I received as I started this journey.
Although I didn't complete 800 kilometers like others, the process of realizing things I had forgotten or didn't know while running was more important than the number of miles I walked.
I learned from Fernando, who walks the pilgrimage route every year, that we must focus on the essence.
--- From "Northern Spain, I like it because it's not famous"
I have traveled to many places, seen beautiful scenery, and taken in its beauty, but what I remember most is the clear eyes of children.
These are the kind eyes of the girls from Delhi, India, who innocently mingled with each other regardless of race, and the children I met in an indigenous village in South America.
I believe that true travel is not about seeing beautiful scenery, but about understanding the hearts of ordinary people you meet in unfamiliar places and gaining knowledge and wisdom you never knew before.
Even though I've lived long enough, there are still many things in this world I don't know.
I will live every night dreaming of going somewhere if I get the chance.

Publisher's Review
Asking me through the world's scenery
Thoughts on life
A travel story told by seven people from all walks of life, from a doctor to a principal, a senior model, a veteran office worker, and a globetrotting tour guide.
They work hard and live their lives so that they are not inferior to anyone in their field.
In addition, I make it a hobby to somehow find time to explore the vast world.
No, I think of it as more than a hobby, but a sublime pilgrimage.
Instead of relying on guidebooks and Instagram likes, I seek out my own travel destinations and appreciate the value of each experience, whether it's big or small, as a valuable life lesson.
As time went by, I met wise souls who imparted valuable lessons.
But is life's journey always smooth?

-From Florence, the shining jewel of Italy
The scenery encountered while walking along the streets of a foreign country enveloped the traveler's body like fog, giving him a faint thrill.
What is familiar to locals is reflected as a dreamlike world to travelers.
Sometimes, when I look at my surroundings through the eyes of a traveler, I ask myself whether every day can be as happy as a dream.
The lights of the Sapporo TV Tower on the night street walking to my accommodation were bright.

Light was visible beyond the rain-covered window.
- Relationships that approach with a faint excitement like fog
The traveler's cheerful virus sometimes surprises those around him in mischievous ways.
This 'surprise' has the side effect of awakening others' dormant desire to travel, causing them to hastily revise their annual vacation plans, and it is also quite contagious.
One souvenir I bought in Cairo surprised many people.

For some people, travel is an extension of work.
For a ThruGuide, travel is a job in itself. Rather than scouring social media for delicious and attractive spots, they present strategically crafted itineraries based on meticulous research and planning, maximizing the satisfaction of numerous travelers. What does this person see in the eyes of a foreign landscape? Seeing them see and experience things several times more than others, their emotional richness overflowing, reminds us that both travel and life are not about studying, but about prior learning.

-Kyoto with a guide
If I had to recommend just one word to replace 'travel', it would be 'fate'.
Couldn't travel be described as "the act of venturing into another world and forming connections with strangers?" This book is filled with stories about people, not travel.
While we may learn lessons or seek wisdom to live better lives, the courage gained from a kind word from a stranger to a weary traveler is most valuable.

-Northern Spain, not famous, so you like it
Although it was not a task assigned by anyone, the trip was a heavy homework and duty for the seven, as if it were a mission.
In addition to the effort to maintain physical fitness so that you never get sick, no matter where, what, or how you sleep, you also have to invest time and money.
Although I have experienced unexpected disappointments in places I have worked hard to find with high expectations, I have also gained emotions and wisdom that have filled my heart and mind.
If it was a good trip, I was happy, and if it was a failed schedule, I consoled myself by saying it was a great experience.
Maybe that's why? I still feel like there's so much of the world I don't know, so many relationships I haven't experienced, so I go to bed every night imagining myself going somewhere.

Travel is for dreamers
The stories in this book are not records of past travels.
It is a firm commitment to start the journey again someday.
The journey gave them great wisdom, but it also gave them the humility to realize that they still have much to learn.
It is impossible to know what they will learn and what kind of self they will become when they return.
Because their real journey may not have started yet, or they may be in the middle of it.
However, they have the same dream every night.
I go to bed imagining myself packing my backpack and going off somewhere.
Because travel is for dreamers.
