I started to collect quotes which reflect my travels and resonate with the emotions I've had along the way. Head over to Volume I to see my thinking towards long-term travel and why it's important to me.
I also created a second quote of my own on the subject of travel.
‌Breathe in the beauty of today, tomorrow knows if you will breathe again.Ugo Domizioli
With this set of quotes, (Volume II), I want to explore the possible consequences of travelling and why I believe it's important.
The more I travelled the more I realized that fear makes strangers of people who should be friends. Shirley MacLaine
Our happiest moments as tourists always seem to come when we stumble upon one thing while in pursuit of something else. Lawrence Block
If you are brave enough to say goodbye, life will reward you with a new hello. Paulo Coelho
All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveller is unaware. Martin Buber
You do not travel if you are afraid of the unknown, you travel for the unknown, that reveals you with yourself. Ella Maillart
Like all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen. Benjamin Disraeli
Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living. Mary Ritter Beard
Why be saddled with this thing called life expectancy? Of what relevance to an individual is such a statistic? Am I to concern myself with an allotment of days I never had and was never promised? Must I check off each day of my life as if I am subtracting from this imaginary hoard? No, on the contrary, I will add each day of my life to my treasure of days lived. And with each day, my treasure will grow, not diminish.Robert Breault
We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.Anais Nin
When we allow ourselves to become vulnerable, to take chances, and to risk our pride, that is when we find our own glory. Richard Corman
There will always be a reason why you meet people. Either you need them to change your life or you're the one that will change theirs.Angel Flonis Harefa
My personal favourite from this second volume:
All the wonders you seek are within yourself. Thomas Browne
I chose the photograph for this page......despite having a bad hair day, to reflect on my favourite quote from this Volume II. I believe travelling is amazing, but not a requirement to find oneself. You will visit amazing destinations, meet inspiring people along the way and have fond memories of discussions with locals. This constant changing of your outside world is a major reason for why we travel. The real changes are however happening within, without you knowing it, your future life will change. You may be aware of some of the changes as your outlook on life evolves, but the fundamental ones are happening to your subconscious mind without you being aware. There's no need to understand or worry, your experiences can only have a positive outcome on the development of your soul. Begin your travel plans and travel your world, not that of others. No one really knows where it will take you, but you will never forget your experiences as your future life will be shaped by them.
