Sybarite or ascetic
Tabron prefers to travel alone. “Do not travel with members of your culture if you want to understand another culture,” he advised in an interview with the FT. – People are attracted to you if you are alone. This will pique their curiosity even more. They are also attracted to the idea that you might feel lonely. The Russian will decide that you should be treated to vodka. “
Tabron considers himself a man, seasoned in wanderings, and by no means a hedonist. “Anything that other people see as hardship doesn’t matter to me,” he told The Telegraph. – I can do very little. Although, looking at it, it may seem different to you. ” As he spoke, he gestured around his comfortable, well-kept London apartment near Holland Park. The journalist recalled that a harsh traveler who does not pay attention to appearance, Tabron in 2013 ranked 39th best dressed Englishmen according to The Times. Tabron’s eyebrows went up: “Good God! And my wife is always angry that I am dressed casually. I must definitely tell her about it! ” And he honestly admitted: “When I’m on vacation, for example, in [испанском] Costa del Sol, I’ll be as finicky as the rest. ” In ordinary life, he is not ready to face difficulties even for the sake of a dream. FT once asked what he lacks in life. “Get a barn owl. These are the most beautiful creatures, in my opinion, – was the answer. “But they’re damn hard to feed: they prefer live mice. They also snore. “
