Traveling is seeing it is the implicit that we travel by.

The line treats travel less as physical motion than as a mode of perception. “Traveling is seeing” suggests that the essential act is attention—encountering difference, noticing particulars, and revising one’s assumptions through observation. The second clause (“it is the implicit that we travel by”) implies that travel is guided by what is unspoken or taken for granted: expectations, inherited narratives, cultural frames, and private desires that shape what we think we are going to find and what we are able to recognize when we arrive. Read this way, the quote is also a caution: the traveler’s vision is never neutral, because the “implicit” silently steers interpretation, turning travel into a test of self-knowledge as much as a survey of places.
