A ship in harbour is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.Throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails.Attributed to Mark Twain

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.The best view comes after the hardest climb.Leave it better than you found it.We are all travellers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend.Robert Louis Stevenson

Travelling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort.There are only two kinds of travel: first class and with children.A journey is best measured in friends rather than miles.Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.Collect moments, not things.Jobs fill your pocket, adventures fill your soul.Fill your life with experiences, not things. Have stories to tell, not stuff to show.Blessed are the curious, for they shall have adventures.Because in the end, you won't remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn.People don't take trips, trips take people.A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it.We find after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us.The world is a country which nobody ever yet knew by description; one must travel through it one's self to be acquainted with it.Travel and change of place impart new vigour to the mind.There are no foreign lands. It is the traveller only who is foreign.Robert Louis Stevenson

To awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the pleasantest sensations in the world.The beckoning counts, and not the clicking latch behind you.Solitude, I have discovered, is not a lack of company but a different kind of it.The missed ferry. The stranger who handed over a key. The meal that ran until midnight. If something happened to you on the road and you still think about it, send it - a few sentences is plenty, and we do the tidying up.
