Traveling is magical, inspiring, and life - changing.
I am a passionate traveler, and from the time I was a child, travel formed me as much as my formal education.
The two impulses in travel are to get away from home, and the other is to pursue something - a landscape, people, an exotic place. Certainly finding a place that you like or discovering something unusual is a very sustaining thing in travel.
To travel is to take a journey into yourself.
Travel for me is all about transformation, and I'm fascinated by those people who really do come back from a trip unrecognizable to themselves and perhaps open to the same possibilities they'd have written off not a month before.
The travel book is a convenient metaphor for life, with its optimistic beginning or departure, its determined striving, and its reflective conclusion. Journeys change travellers just as a good travel book can change readers.
Traveling is one expression of the desire to cross boundaries.
A good traveller is one who does not know where he is going to, and a perfect traveller does not know where he came from.
The use of travelling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.
There can be many reasons to travel, but wandering into the world for no particular reason is a sublime madness, which in all its whimsy and pointlessness may depict the story of life - and indeed could be a useful model to keep in mind, seeing as so much of life's ambition comes unstuck or leads to nothing much at all.
