Biography
Jan Maarten Troost is a Dutch-American travel writer and essayist.
"Paradise was always over there, a day’s sail away. But it’s a funny thing, escapism. You can go far and wide and you can keep moving on and on through places and years, but you never escape your own life. I, finally, knew where my life belonged. Home."
"Like many highly educated people, I didn't have much in the way of actual skills."
"The gift of sobriety is clarity and a sense of connection - and travel only enhances that."
