F: Mr. Johnson, you have traveled to so many places in the world. Does travel necessarily open minds to other cultures?
M: I think travel is good in any capacity. I do hope that people who travel to other countries spend at least a little bit of time not traveling in an isolated, encapsulated kind of way. Over the last two or three decades, travel, whether in wilderness or urban areas, has become much more insular. When I travel, I tend to not bring very much baggage with me, maybe just a carry-on. I also know that where I’m going, millions of people have lived for thousands of years. I know that I can survive there if they can survive.
F: With all the traveling you do, in what way is it still a pleasure for you?
M: I think it’s important when you travel that you get unplugged a little bit. I think we try now, with cell phones and the Internet, to stay connected all the time. I think some sort of disconnect from that, for just a few days or a week, can really enhance travel. You don’t have to be connected every day. I also find when I’ m overseas for several weeks or months, I’m not in touch with the news. I don’ t see it or hear about it. I find when I come back to the States, nothing has changed very much. The reality is, the news that we want to know every day maybe doesn’t really matter after a few weeks or months. Life goes on.
F: Any favorite places that you’ve visited?
M: I love my home in Montana. My ancestors were homesteaders in Montana, and I have lived in Bozeman since 1995. I also like where I grew up in northern Tanzania. I like the savanna and the high plateau. I like the wildlife. I do like a few beaches, but mostly I’m a mountain person. I love the Karakoram mountains in northern Pakistan. I also love the Pamir mountains in the Hindu Kush range. Best of what I like are mountains. The Karakoram is the greatest consolidation of high peaks in the world. I have a hard time picking a city I like a lot.
F: Any places still on your list?
M: My wife wants to go to Antarctica. I don’t have time in this lifetime. It takes too long. I want to go to northern Norway. It’ s where my ancestors are from. Very beautiful rivers and seas. My ancestors were fishermen. I also want to go to Peru and Argentina and see the Andes.
F: What responsibility do you think western travelers have to the places that they visit?
M: If you can, go local, even for a day. It’s fine if you have a package tour, but spend at least one day a week doing something a little different than what’ s on the rest of your itinerary. Spend some time in a local cafe. Get to know somebody. Go visit a school. It’ s uncomfortable for people at first, but often people say that’s the most significant part of the trip. That’ll help the local economy.
