I'm thrilled to be mentioned in this wonderful thought-provoking piece!
While I've coined the term "anthropology of wandering" to describe what my project at Those Who Wander is all about, it overlaps significantly with the philosophy of travel and adventure--namely with questions concerning ontology (what is it like to experience travel, especially in an unfamiliar culture?), epistemology (what does it mean to "know" another place or culture?), and ethics (what's the moral imperative of the modern traveler given the negative impacts of travel?).
While I do think a philosophy of travel can arguably center around all five of the classic subdivisions of philosophic inquiry, there is likely more to expand on and rethink given the context of a lot of monumental changes we're witnessing in the 21st century.
So much more to reflect on...Looking forward to many more philosophical ruminations on travel.
