And go travel, he could really benefit from it. Especially to areas where he thinks he is expert in like Balkans, Russia, Palestine etc.
In light of the backlash against tourists in places like Venice & Barcelonia where they don't want all the tourists coming it suits countries to have people learn about the people & culture at home reading books and going online then going where you are not wanted.
Don't get me wrong I like traveling when doing it rarely but plenty of places I would not be able to go to due to temperature, dietary issues & language barrier, great about interdependent world we can learn and see these places without making the trouble of going and I know what you will say not the same as the real thing but still you don't have to go there to be familiar with the place.
