Paulo Coelho

Travel is never a matter of money but of courage

Paulo Coelho

Pico Iyer

And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again- to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more.

My restlessness makes me a far better day-to-day traveler than he will ever be. I am infinitely curious and almost infinitely patient with mishaps, discomforts, and minor disasters.
