"Surely, you seem to cover vaster spaces with Lavengro, footing it with gipsies or driving his tinker's cart across lonely commons..." A lovely passage from the "Pagan Papers" by Kenneth Grahame. The "Lavengro" he references is a classic British character who traverses the world as a modest tinker, suggesting that the "art of travel" requires more a thoughtful viewpoint than luxurious transport or exotic locales.
