From when I was born to when I was 21, I never left Toronto. That's why I'm such a city cat.
I think, strangely, a strip club can tell you a lot about the city you're in. If you call a strip club "Tuna's," I've gotta go in there. Usually you're not seeing the top talent around, but it's not about that. It's about the experience.
The best way to travel abroad is to live with the locals.
I'd rather have a real South Dakotan who has lived in this state and made her living here instead of someone with a fancy East Coast law degree any day.
Gettysburg. . . . You cant understand it. You would have to be born there.
The travel that I've spent around the country, I always come back with ideas for L.A. and vice versa: My experiences in L.A. give me an immediacy to issues that sometimes people in Washington think about but aren't experiencing every day.
Whenever I've seen shows or films set here, they just don't feel like the real Nashville to me.
While my trips are most often focused on business, I always try to take some time to experience the local culture.
Every European goes on the streets and sees medieval churches. Not if you live in Indianapolis. The most exciting letters I received were from people in places like that.
I have toured around for 45 years and have experience of night halt at more than 400 districts. And that's why I know the reality of this earth.
My federal, state, and local experience will allow me the opportunity to effectively represent the constituents of the Fourth District.
A traveler enters the world into which he travels, but a tourist brings his own world with him and never sees the one he's in.
Sometimes when I travel, I like to find things that relate to where I am.
Become familiar with your home, but know also about your neighbors. The young man who never went anywhere thinks his mother is the greatest cook.
I tell aspiring entrepreneurs all the time: Validate your idea locally. Get some experience under your belt. Prove your idea has legs where you are. Spend some time as a big fish in a small pond. Demonstrate that there's a there there... there. Where you live.
People don't use Airbnb overtly to trust people more. They use it because they want to get a better sense of the culture and to save money. A by-product was that they live in someone else's shoes.
Whenever I tell people I'm from Miami, they always ask me about the beach. But I can count on one hand the times I went there as a kid.
I'm always intrigued when you are travelling through a place and there is somebody who has lived there and done the same job for years.
I have always loved travelling in autorickshaws.
There is good to be found anywhere in the world, and not necessarily only through travel.
I love Trinidad and I love living there, but it's quite harsh.
I'm trying to see my own country with fresh eyes.
To savour Istanbul's back streets, to appreciate the vines and trees that endow its ruins with accidental grace, you must, first and foremost, be a stranger to them.
In Providence, we didn't have a first-run movie theater. But we did have an indie movie theatre on the Brown campus. That was the theater we'd go to. I think, as highbrow as it sounds, that I grew up on the films.
I have just returned from Boston. It is the only thing to do if you find yourself up there.
