Why I love to travel?

"After weeks on the road, listening to a language you don't understand, using a currency whose value you don't comprehend, walking down the streets you've never walked down before, you discover that your old "I" along with everything you ever learned, is absolutely no use at all in the face of those new challenges, and you begin to realize that buried deep in your unconscious mind there is something much more interesting and adventurous and more open to the world and to new experiences."--Paulo Coelho, Aleph

A bit of inspiration from Paulo Coelho

I am reading Aleph right now and every page is confirmation that I am moving in the right direction. This passage in particular spoke strongly to my spirit.

"I am a born pilgrim...I realize that I will never reach my goal by staying in the same place all the time. I can speak to my soul only when the two of us are off exploring deserts or cities or mountains or roads." Paulo Coelho, Aleph
