Un Voyage (A Journey)

My love of travel and of being somewhere unfamiliar never leaves me. Before moving to Asia as an expatriate, I travelled one trip after another to Morocco, Mali, Iran, Senegal and Ethiopia. Europe and its capitals, and cities in general, have fascinated me for a long time; Madrid and Lisbon were my favourite destinations. I devour books of every kind, from Julio Cortázar's Hopscotch (Rayuela) to Malcolm Lowry's remarkable Under the Volcano. But the quotation that inspired me, at that moment, to develop the series comes from André Malraux, in Man's Fate (La Condition humaine): “Women have lovers, men have journeys.” But what is a journey? And what is a lover? Is the difference between them only a matter of time?
