Grandin n'est pas un marcheur vulgaire, chacun sait ça. Dire de lui qu'il est un marcheur scientifique ne serait point exagérer. Grandin, en effet, est un émule actif - oh! très actif! - d'Élisée Reclus. Outre ses aptitudes peu communes à la marche, Grandin professe, en effet, un goût très vif pour le dessin géographique, et il excelle à dresser lui-même les cartes de ses très intéressants voyages.

My life was fairly typical until around the age of 30. I attended university, got a job in banking and joined corporate America. Then one day I was plodding through some marketing proposal and suddenly became disillusioned with my career and a future that seemed all too predictable.

Travels with Charley: In Search of America is a 1962 travelogue written by American author John Steinbeck. It depicts a 1960 road trip around the United States made by Steinbeck, in the company of his standard poodle Charley. Steinbeck wrote that he was moved by a desire to see his country on a personal level because he made his living writing about it. He wrote of having many questions going into his journey, the main one being "What are Americans like today?" However, he found that he had concerns about much of the "new America" he witnessed.
