I always wondered why I wanted to travel.
See new places, new cultures, meet new people ........
But I think one facet that I was over looking was the fact that when you travel without any predetermined plans is that it challenges you to deal with new circumstances than are not part of the routine way of life that we have all been accustomed to.
Not knowing what tomorrow brings, how the day will progress, is gallant of ones self in a way that can only be expressed by a quote by Henry
David Thoreau
quote:
If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavours to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours

I thought I wanted to travel for the adventure and to learn about other cultures, but what I discovered was that travel is like looking deeply into a mirror.

Instead of seeing yourself in the reflection, though, you see yourself the way others see you.

My year long adventure has been the best learning experience and an amazing way to come to grips with my 'Amercian' self.

i think i like to travel because i have no expectations.
experiencing the world as it is, and being in that moment that is so crisp and so real, and feeling SO alive...that's why i travel.
And because, for some reason, there's always a lot of free beer involved in traveling.
