“You will find that it is all very familiar…the strange and faraway places where you’ve never been. The wild unknown leads you to a place just around the corner. Take a picture when you get there…the road is you.”
We’ve studied hard, had fun, graduated from college, worked like crazy, and are now embarking on a trip around the world, looking for adventure, challenge, and the unexpected. We’ll be back next year to continue our responsible, planned lives, but until then we’ll be guided by a few plane tickets, help from friends around the world, and the cheapest bus fares we can find.
“…because the only ones for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars…”
We plan to laugh. To get our hands in the soil. To connect. And to enjoy some delicious food.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
“For me there is only traveling on paths that have heart…
and there I travel,
looking, looking, breathlessly.”
“she danced. she sang. she took. she gave. she served. she loved. she created. she dissented. she enlivened. she saw. she grew. she sweated. she changed. she learned. she laughed. she shed her skin. she bled on the pages of her days. she walked through walls. she lived with intention.”
