Seems like I'm always itching to hit the road. Whether it's a day trip to the beach or a long-haul flight to another continent, immersing one's self in unfamiliar territory is exhilarating for the mind and body – and just plain fun. There's the anticipation that builds before the trip, the trip itself, and the mental reverberations of the experience long afterward.
Many a wise traveler has opined on the virtues of seeing the world:
“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” – St. Augustine
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain
“There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign.” – Robert Louis Stevenson
“Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life.” – Jack Kerouac
“One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” – Henry Miller
“Once you have traveled, the voyage never ends but is played out over and over again in the quietest chambers. The mind can never break off from the journey.” – Pat Conroy
