There ain't no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them. - Mark Twain, author Making the team is one thing, becoming a team is another.
When you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make its own people comfortable.
Adventure is a path. Real adventure - self-determined, self-motivated, often risky - forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind - and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white.
A man of ordinary talent will always be ordinary, whether he travels or not; but a man of superior talent (which I cannot deny myself to be without being impious) will go to pieces if he remains forever in the same place.
To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.
Once the travel bug bites there is no known antidote, and I know that I shall be happily infected until the end of my life
We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate. We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed. And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again- to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more.
A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.
I met a lot of people in Europe. I even encountered myself.
No matter where you go, there you are. (Uriel to Harry Dresden)
Too often travel, instead of broadening the mind, merely lengthens the conversations.
We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next to find ourselves.
We wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment.
I see my path, but I don't know where it leads. Not knowing where I'm going is what inspires me to travel it.
Take only memories, leave only footprints.
The use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality.
A wise traveler never despises his own country.
The first condition of understanding a foreign country is to smell it.
What you've done becomes the judge of what you're going to do - especially in other people's minds. When you're traveling, you are what you are right there and then. People don't have your past to hold against you. No yesterdays on the road.
There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign.
I see my path, but I don't know where it leads.
There is no moment of delight in any pilgrimage like the beginning of it.
People travel to faraway places to watch, in fascination, the kind of people they ignore at home.
Once a year go someplace you've never been.
The end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started.
