1. "If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears."

  2. »  From the pages of the NY Times: Advice From Life’s Graying Edge on Finishing With No Regrets

    That’s NYTimes speak for advice from your elders on how to live life to the fullest.

    Here’s what is most pertinent to my blog, and therefore to my life:

    As Dr. Pillemer summarized the elders’ view, “Travel is so rewarding that it should take precedence over other things younger people spend money on.” Create a bucket list now and start whittling it down.

    I realize how much I’ve learned and grown in the past five years. I can’t imagine how much I’ll learn by the time I’m 80. Bring it on!

  3. "Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you- it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you… Hopefully, you leave something good behind."

    Anthony Bourdain

    I just watched his No Reservations on Madrid, Spain, and after letting this quote sit in my queue for a while, I decided it was the right time to post it. If you haven’t seen his show, you’re missing out. It’s inspirational mostly because of how real he and everything he does is.

  4. "Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends."
    Maya Angelou (via vasavikanneganti)
