See: http://www.forbestraveler.com/adventure/most-famous-adventures-slide-9.html?thisSpeed=25000 Not only was ‘Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes’ much admired by John Steinbeck, but it is considered a pioneering classic of outdoor literature, setting the standard for the whole travelogue genre. By presenting hiking and camping outdoors as a recreational activity, Stevenson was in many respects the catalyst for the whole back-to-nature and modern hiking movement. A must! Hike it with the Scots experts on the trail, The Enlightened Traveller, at: http://www.enlightened-traveller.co.uk/pages/Package_Pages.aspx?pkId=d679adcf-a05b-4136-b404-7a841334cfe3&pgId=1001 Cheers!

My Grandmother was a MacInnes and she was also related to Robert Burns. Your story was an inspiring read and as a guy who's been to 30 countries when I was in my 20's and 30's the words strike home now more than ever. I did not take time off for a vacation this year and I really have to plan one with the kids that will require a passport and good walking shoes.

My husband, on the other hand, would totally embrace Stevenson's words, and has, in the past, during travels through Europe. Note, Stevenson was 28 when he made this comment ...
