Our eccentric traveler ended his trip to St. Barthelemy satisfied with the temperature of the sea and the beauty of the beaches, but slightly bored by what he called "French atmosphere".

"It is indeed a place tres chic, but I could not avoid the feeling that was in the Avenue Montaigne with yachts anchored. I confess that I prefer to Tortola, where at least the cars run by the right side." Then the response of the week:

Mr. Miles: what is your opinion on travel issues, which seem to be a growing trend in world tourism? Do you think people take something from one place or are devoted to specific topics that will be addressed? Cancado Osvaldo Flores, by e-mail

"Good question, dear Osvald. Overall, I think any kind of travel a very welcome break from everyday life. There is no doubt, however, that is the spirit of the traveler who makes it more or less valuable. I'll give you an example : Some years ago, in Venice, saw an ocean liner anchored to one of these day trips. Observing the landing, I could not help noticing a group of gentlemen who came down from the ship with their golf clubs in tow. In Venice? " Wasn 't it weird? " Where, goddamn it, they would exercise their swings and puts? In the Ca 'd' Oro? In Cannaregio?

I asked one of them, who rushed, said they had a car waiting to take them to a golf course on the continent. Ie: Venice, for those golfers, only one port was not properly located. Is it possible?

Nevertheless, one can not say the same of most of the so-called solo-themed. I myself am one of them, as you know. As frequently as possible, run the world to practice birdwatching.

I take great pleasure in sight and collecting rare birds in my head, its fleeting images. Whenever I do, however, enjoy every moment of my stay to explore the surroundings, talk to people, taste the flavors and understand the local idiosyncrasies. It is, in this case? as in many others?, a common travel coupled with a hobby. I suppose live the same feelings of those who leave home to make recipes or entire regions that travel by bicycle. It is, in my view, a clever way to set limits on a journey and become more intense and qualified experience.

Except in the case of so-called religious holidays, in which concern for the fate is often mitigated by the ardor of faith, those opting for thematic routes tend to be more experienced travelers who know exactly what they want. This makes them also more demanding about the quality of service they are getting. So are those who leave, for example, to ride or fish. Give a knight riding a poor ... nag do you say? ... and he will demand their money back. So will fans of fly-fishing the rivers are carried little fishy.

On the other hand, there are issues that raise travel, but it will not lead anywhere. I have a friend who only leaves his home in Cardiff for events of numismatics. I know others who travel the world for meetings or heraldry hagiology. These, my fellow, travelers are not thematic. His own themes is that they are a trip. Don "t you agree?"
