After all, in this story it's the people who don't go anywhere, geographically speaking, who end up outpacing us in the race to what we call "being a grown up": getting a job that you may or may not love, but that pays the bills; finding someone to love above and before everyone else; moving in with that person. If these things mean growing up, we needn't encircle the globe to find them, as eternal children like Kerouac and Paul Theroux would have us believe. But does that mean it wasn't worth the journey?
