“The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may one’s appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship.”

-Amelia Earhart-

 

“The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure.  The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.”

-Chris McCandless-


“It’s a funny thing about comin’ home.  Looks the same, smells the same, feels the same.  You realize what’s changed is you.”

-The Curious Case of Benjamin Button-

 

“The beauty of this country is becoming part of me.  I feel more detached from life, and somehow gentler… I have some good friends here, but no one who really understands why I’m here or what I do.  I don’t know of anyone, though, who would have more than a partial understanding; I have gone too far alone.  I have always been unsatisfied with life as most people live it.  Always I want to live more intensely and richly.”

-Everett Ruess-

 

“A traveller.  I love his title.  A traveller is to be revered as such.  His profession is the best symbol of our life.  Going from-toward; it is the history of every one of us.”

-Henry David Thoreau-

      Thanks for the great comment, Liz. I’m glad that this gives you some inspiration, because your blog inspires me every time I read it. I always want to just on a train to Sweden! I hope you do share any if you find them! I fell in love with the “All good things are wild and free” that you put on your pinterest and now I want it tattooed across my back, I’m just waiting for the right post to use that quote in.

    About travel. Whatever we bring to the situation is what defines the situation. If I have a prejudicial notion concerning a place or an ethnic group, this will definitely color my view of that place or ethnic group before I even reach that particular destination.

    When traveling, the road is part of the journey, but how we perceive and experience that road is the real journey–who we are inside IS the journey. Do we have a good attitude or a bad attitude about life in general? We are always projecting ourselves onto places, persons and things.

    If a man is blind, he can see nothing. So if a blind man and man who has eyes are traveling through Salmon, Idaho (which is a very beautiful place surrounded by mountains), the man with eyes says that the scenery is beautiful, but the blind man doesn’t see the beautiful scenery.

    Travel is risk. You are going to unknown places and discovering new things and new people. Life is risk. People need to explore outside the box–outside their preconceived notions–break free from the slavery of their man-made, protective shells.

      That was really beautiful, and I completely agree. It’s amazing about how much our expectations and attitude do structure the way our adventures go. I think that’s why there are so many different takes on the same kind of experience, like you said about the blind man, it’s all about how we take in the experience.

      I love thinking of life as a risk, but it’s so true. We put ourselves at risk everyday, and not even just physically, but emotionally and mentally. It is a risk, but I wouldn’t want to live life safely. This comment really inspired me today, so thank you so much!
