My favorite travel quotes:

No one comes back from a trip and says I wish I packed more. Rick Steves

“Of the gladdest moments in human life, methinks, is the departure upon a distant journey into unknown lands. Shaking off with one mighty effort the fetters of Habit, the leaden weight of Routine, the cloak of many Cares and the slavery of Home, one feels once more happy. The blood flows with the fast circulation of childhood …. A journey, in fact, appeals to Imagination, to Memory, to Hope – the three sister graces of our moral being.”
– sir richard francis burton, 1856

Time is the most important commodity in the world, you cannot buy, save or horde it, the only thing you can do is spend it, and how you spend your time will determine the quality of your life.
