‘To travel is to live’ as written by Hans Christian Andersen, a writer famous for curating fairytales in worlds of his own imagination. Andersen etched this famous line long before anyone in the world had ever flown on an airplane, ridden on a high-speed train or experienced the many spectacles of the Internet. A century and a half later, his words still hold weight to the rich experience of travel. This visual essay is inspired by this very concept, portraying the beauty and versatility of modern-day traveling for Airbnb and FvF.
