Nothing ventured, nothing gained. And venture belongs to the adventurous.

I travel because I become uncomfortable being too comfortable.

It is never too late to be who you might have been.

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.

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!”

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

Oh, the places you’ll go.

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

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

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