PERHAPS ONE CAN GET THERE FROM HERE, THOUGH HERE AND THERE MAY NOT BE WHAT ONE EXPECTED

Andrew Solomon, Far and Aways: Reporting from the Brink of Change: Seven Continents, Twenty-Five Years (New York: Harper, 2016) ("If we want to avoid learning why the rest of the world at once loves and hates us, it is advisable to stay home. I remain an American patriot when I am abroad, but I also see my country's failure of dignity, empathy, and wisdom. You can't fully interpret the American invective against immigration without visiting centers of emigration and refugee camps. You can't understand the bizarre tyranny of the NRA until you have spent time in other countries (most other countries, actually) where sensible gun laws limit violent crime. You can't discern how far America has lapsed in social mobility until you encounter a society moving toward economic justice. Travel [not tourism] is a set of corrective lenses that help focus the planet's blurred reality." Id. at 25.).
