Why travel at all?

Forget llama-kayaking on the Limpopo, stuff carving pogo-sticks in Patagonia – and as for Greek ferries, don’t even start. Lucy Mangan doesn’t do holidays abroad. Why travel at all when home is all you need?

.. if you are lucky enough, as I am, to be what I call self-confident and others call bloody-minded, have a home and a job that you like and require nothing more for contentment in your life than to be left alone to live it your way, then why in the name of Thomas Cook would you want to leave it?
