About this listen

Why We Travel is a smart-thinking travel book, which uses travel as a window into human motivations. It explores what we can gain from venturing out into the world.

It threads together reflective memoir, evocative travelogue, research, conversation, advice and big ideas. Some of the travels are epic adventures; others are closer to home; and some are journeys of internal exploration.

Each journey is a window into one of 12 motivations for travel: Curiosity, Inspiration, Happiness, Creativity, Serendipity, Hardship, Service, Healing, Wonder, Empathy, Eroticism, and Hope. By unpacking these motivations, and digging into the science of where they come from, this book asks how travel intersects with the rest of our lives, answering key questions.

Profile Image for Jo Moseley

Fascinating, thought provoking and absorbing!

I have really enjoyed Ash Bhardwaj’s Why We Travel - a great companion on long journeys and daily walks. The mix of memoir, science and stories is very engaging. With each concept - wonder, healing or serendipity for example - being given a unique chapter it’s also one of those books you can dip into again and again when you want to revisit the ideas. I love that Ash has narrated the book himself given there are so many personal stories and experiences. Highly recommend! Jo Moseley @jomoseley
