Camel trips, as I suspected all along, and as I was about to have confirmed, do not being or end: they mere change form.
I just don't see myself as a travel writer. I can't. I don't.
That odd idea that one person can go to a foreign part and in this rather odd voice describe it to the folks back home doesn't make much sense in the post-colonial world.
The most difficult part of any endeavour is taking the first step, making the first decision.
It is better to proceed with one's duty in the service of others than wallow in the pain attachments bring

I watched a pale dawn streak the cliffs with Day-glo and realized this was one of them. It was a moment of pure, uncomplicated confidence—and lasted about ten seconds.
Real travel would be to see the world, for even an instant, with another's eyes
I believe when you’re stuck in one spot for too long it’s best to throw a grenade where you stand, and jump…and pray.
