Red Eye
By Jeff Booth
Travel is hard. And if it's not, then you haven't been on the road long
enough, gone far enough, or overpacked.

I'm not saying everyone should cram onto the Trans-Siberian train and live
off stale Chinese food and rotten Russian potatoes for a week. ("That which
does not kill you makes you stronger," but that food just might kill you.)
Hard is a relative term, but a powerful one. It's hard to get to and catch a
wave at Cloud 9, it's even harder to face racism in a country where you are
a guest, and then to realize your postcard tourist attraction isn't a rock
or a check mark in your guidebook, but living culture. That's what this
issue is about, what this magazine is about.
You might notice the new changes in SWT in our fifth year. We're focusing
on what really matters with the way we travel - pushing boundaries of
countries and understanding.
Just turn left,
Jeff
