At times, it almost felt like I was destined to take the trip, like all the people I met had somehow been waiting for me

I travel to be replenished with beauty, for travel makes the beauty of this world seem like a Christmas that never ends.

I feel about airplanes the way I feel about diets It seems to me that they are wonderful things for other people to go on

A wise walker will set out early, keeping an open mind on how far to travel, allowing each day's adventure to evolve.

This would become a lifelong pattern, sitting in my comfort zone high above the world in some sort of self-imposed exile.

So I find words I never thought to speakIn streets I never thought I should revisitWhen I left my body on a distant shore.

Only the road and the dawn, the sun, the wind, and the rain,And the watch fire under stars, and sleep, and the road again.

Once the travel bug bites there is no known antidote, and I know that I shall be happily infected until the end of my life

At least as a single woman, I had time to pursue my own interests, read voraciously, and travel when opportunity presented.

If asked which words one associated with the Sahara, only the most dedicated surrealist might be expected to offer "whale".

To move, to breathe, to fly, to float, to gain all while you give, To roam the roads of lands remote: To travel is to live.

The beauty of traveling solo is that you wonder unexpectedly, but almost certainly into the direction you were meant to go.

The study of maps and the perusal of travel books aroused in me a secret fascination that was at times almost irresistible.

A journey of observation must leave as much as possible to chance. Random movement is the best plan for maximum observation

Maybe you had to leave in order to miss a place; maybe you had to travel to figure out how beloved your starting point was.
