The human race is truly nomadic. Travel grounds us and makes us more aware; more aware of ourselves and of those around us. The true purpose of travel is neither to go back to where we started from, nor is it to reach a particular destination. Travel's true purpose lies in the journey itself. At Theo&Ash we believe that no place is too touristy. Every place and every monument merits its own presence. We encourage you to explore the location of your choice at your own time, convenience and ease. In Theo&Ash's typical style of saluting the spirit of travel, we present to you the Top 5 things we’d like you to do at destinations around the world. Don't forget to take your Leather Jacket along....
