bilhete de ida



"no hotel room has yet changed my life, but many of them have made me, unexpectedly and inexplicably, happy (...). since i took an assignment, four years ago, to write a newspaper column about traveling on a budget, i have stayed overnight in more than 200 different rooms. however not a single one has had a private fountain, 24-hour butler service, or authentic khmer stone goddesses embedded in the bathroom tile.
and yet, in spaces so tiny I can reach out while sleeping and touch both walls, in beds draped with pilled polyester covers, i have experienced great comfort, and profound peace."
