Arthur Frommer, the travel-media giant who founded nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqu094r83f6v82myfhmwevsmg9z7hea5k9m2kkmg6lmg57vfmrspksrdcwyk (nprofile…cwyk), has died at age 95. Here's an essay he wrote, decades ago, which was republished during the pandemic, about how travel changed his life.
"How often have you heard politicians proclaim this nation or that nation to be the finest on earth?" he wrote. "Travel rids you of that smug chauvinism; it exposes you to the finest in every land, and makes you distinctly uneasy — as it now does to me — when you later return home and hear people proclaiming their own nation to be better than all others."
