- Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance.

- To awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the pleasantest sensations in the world.” – Freya Stark
- Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain
- Without new experiences, something inside of us sleeps. The sleeper must awaken.” – Frank Herbert
