The unofficial anthem of Buenos Aires is a classic tango from 1935, “Volver.” The name of the song means “to return,” and in it Carlos Gardel anticipates the mixed emotions of revisiting the city after many years. “To feel…that life is a puff of wind,” he croons, “that 20 years is nothing.” For me, it had been nearly 30 years since my last visit to Buenos Aires, a city to which I'd bought a one-way ticket as a young man with a wild dream of setting myself up as a foreign correspondent. By some miracle I established myself as a stringer for an array of international newspapers and was soon sharing a cheap apartment in the bohemian barrio of San Telmo with an NPR reporter. I became immersed in its half-European, half-Latin world, learning Spanish with the distinctive Argentine accent and lunfardo, the local slang; living on steak with chimichurri sauce; and attending raucous late-night avant-garde events at the legendary underground club Parakultural. Argentine democracy was still emerging from the long shadow of the military dictatorship that ruled in the late 1970s and early '80s, whose “dirty war” resulted in an estimated 30,000 desaparecidos—“the disappeared.” BA could sometimes feel melancholy, claustrophobic, and conformist (every restaurant seemed to have the same beef and pasta menu), but it was rich with character and atmosphere. With its charming wood-paneled cafés and dapper, formal citizens, much of it felt like it had not changed since the 1930s.

The 43rd Annual Experimental Aviation Convention in Buenos Aires drew over 15,000 visitors to see unique, homemade aircraft.

The sun had begun its leisurely descent over Bodrum Town on a September afternoon when I started going back over my list, making sure I hadn’t missed anything. A stroll along the marina, pausing to take a video of a forest of Turkish flags fluttering in the wind: check. Bites of kabak cicegi dolmasi and enginar kalbi on the terrace of a restaurant overlooking gulets bobbing in the harbor below: delicious. Browsing leather shoes and handwoven towels in the labyrinthine bazaar: my credit card statement would attest to that. Satisfied, I started mapping out the route back to the hotel, working in a stop at a posh Turkish delight shop a friend in New York had recommended. I turned to my mom, ready to lead her out of the bazaar, when I noticed her hesitate.

You could fill a not-so-small library with books published in the last few years that explore what the so-called attention economy has done to our brains and relationships, most recently Chris Hayes's The Sirens' Call. I'm not advocating giving up social media or our smartphones, as some have suggested, but many of us might wish to reconsider our relationship with these platforms and devices. I know I do. Travel is certainly caught up in this endless competition for attention (we decide where to go after gorging on other people's fabulous posts, then spend our trips thinking about what we'll post ourselves), but I also think it can help. I'm not just talking about those digital detoxes in which you hand over your phone upon arrival, though those have merit. I mean trips that allow you to be fully present, letting you devote all of your attention to the people you're with and the place you're in.
