"The true secret to seeking the unknown is in the looking, not the finding. The journey is what matters."
"As travelers, it is our responsibility to adapt, otherwise we miss the whole point: the opportunity to gain a new perspective."
"Seeing the world is a prerequisite to understanding one’s place in it."
"They're both a bit cavalier about the whole thing at first; more than anything, they seem to think that it's going to be a lot of fun. Which it is, of course, but mostly in the way a plane crash is fun to reminisce about after you survive it."
"Travel does not exist without home....If we never return to the place we started, we would just be wandering, lost. Home is a reflecting surface, a place to measure our growth and enrich us after being infused with the outside world."
