Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!”

I travel because I’d rather look back at my life, saying ‘I can’t believe I did that’ instead of ‘if only I had’.

It feels good to be lost in the right direction.

Better to see something once than to hear about it a thousand times.

One travels to run away from routine, that dreadful routine that kills all imagination and all our capacity for enthusiasm.

Blessed are the curious for they shall have adventures.

Of all the books in the world, the best stories are found between the pages of a passport.

Life movies pretty fast, if you don’t stop and look around every once in a while, you could miss it.

Then I realized that to be more alive, I had to be less afraid. So I did it. I lost my fear and gained my whole life.

The world is not in your books and maps; it’s out there.
