PROGRAM, function, and value of usage, Part 2. I realized in my early twenties—following a discussion with professor Raimund Abraham during my studies at Cooper Union—that to be happy, I needed to accept that my life was going to be that of a nomad; thus my unconditional need to travel.  Since then, traveling is to push myself into a vulnerable position intellectually in order to explore and understand unknown cultures both near and far. As home became the place where I temporarily live, I tended to seek through my adventures transient comfort that translates into discovering hotels that serve as a microcosm of well-being.
