Travel is like love, mostly because it's a heightened state of awareness.In an age of speed, nothing could be more invigorating than going slow.We wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfilment.The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one's own country as a foreign land.An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered.How you climb a mountain is more important than reaching the top.It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.Well, George, we knocked the bastard off.Because it's there.What we get by achieving our goals is not as important as what we become by achieving them.Attributed to Henry David Thoreau

Travelling tends to magnify all human emotions.To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.Experience is not what happens to you; it's what you do with what happens to you.Tourists don't know where they've been, travellers don't know where they're going.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.
