But that's the glory of foreign travel, as far as I am concerned. I don't want to know I can't think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything. Suddenly you are five years old again. You can't read anything, you have only the most rudimentary sense of how things work, you can't even reliably cross a street without endangering your life. Your whole existence becomes a series of interesting guesses. Bill Bryson

A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving. Lao Tzu

This was how it was with travel: one city gives you gifts, another robs you. One gives you the heart’s affections, the other destroys your soul.

Roman Payne

Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things: air, sleep, dreams, sea, the sky - all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it. Cesare Pavese
