Our new book, Voyageurs du Monde: A Manifesto for the New Traveler, published by Assouline explores what it means to travel today. Who is this new traveller? Someone who is curious and conscious, who chooses discovery over conquest and is less interested in collecting destinations than in allowing themselves to be surprised by them.

Text by Jean-François Rial
Foreword by Melinda Stevens

Voyageurs du Monde: A Manifesto for the New Traveler is structured around three key questions: how, where and why should we travel today? The first chapter, A Spirit of Freedom celebrates a certain freedom of movement: improvising, following your instincts, taking your time, choosing the train, the road or the sea, and making the journey itself an integral part of the experience. The book also embraces the art of travelling Against the Tide: going off-season, avoiding crowds and predictable itineraries, and looking elsewhere rather than where everyone else is looking. With The Long Way Around, it rediscovers the allure of faraway places, wide-open spaces and journeys that are given time to unfold: crossing rather than simply landing, moving across borders, getting a little lost, travelling less often but for longer. Out of the Box explores what ultimately drives us to travel: a passion, the desire to learn, to connect with others, to be transformed and to see the world differently.
