Travel Inspiration: Travel for Fulfillment

Travel Inspiration: Welcome the Uncomfortable

‘When you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make its own people comfortable’.

 – Clinton Fadiman

Travel Inspiration: Foreign Lands

“There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign.”

– Robert Louis Stevenson

Travel Inspiration: On The Road

“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.” – William Least Heat Moon

Travel Inspiration: The Passport Stamp

“The border means more than a customs house, a passport officer, a man with a gun. Over there everything is going to be different; life is never going to be quite the same again after your passport has been stamped.”
– Graham Greene

Travel Inspiration: Leave Life Behind

“Escape through travel works. Almost from the moment I boarded my flight, life in England became meaningless. Seat-belt signs lit up, problems switched off. Broken armrests took precedence over broken hearts. By the time the plane was airborne I’d forgotten England even existed.”
– Alex Garland, The Beach

Travel Inspiration: Flirt with Life

“Traveling is like flirting with life. It’s like saying, ‘I would stay and love you, but I have to go; this is my station.’” – Lisa St. Aubin de Teran

Travel Inspiration: Go Beyond

“We must go beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey.” – John Hope Franklin

Boredom, Alcohol and Adventure

We could bore ourselves to death, drink ourselves to death, or have a bit of an adventure.
– Terry Darlington, Narrow Dog to Carcassonne

Live On The Edge

“If you’re not living on the edge, you’re taking up too much space.”
