ABOUT ME
Crazy about wanting to know more about the people whom I share this earth with, their different customs, cultures, and languages!
PHILOSOPHY
I think some of my favourite quotes will explain some of my "philosophy":
Those who visit foreign nations, but associate only with their own countrymen, change their climate, but not their customs. They see new meridians, but the same men; and with heads as empty as their pockets, return home with traveled bodies, but untraveled minds. (Charles Caleb Colton).
We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
(E.M. Forster).
You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
(Mahatma Gandhi).
The important thing is to start, to lay a plan and then follow it step-by-step no matter how small or large each step by itself may seem. (Charles Lindbergh).
The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page. (Saint Augustine).
Traveler, there is no path. Paths are made by walking. (Antonio Machado).
A good traveler has no fixed plan, and is not intent on arriving. (Lao Tzu).
Somewhere down the road there will be answers to the questions. Somewhere down the road though we can not see it now, somewhere down the road we will find mighty arms reaching for us, and they will hold the answers at the end of the road. (Anonymous).
As you journey through life, choose your destinations well, but do not hurry there. Avoid the shortcuts... wander the back roads... enjoy the scenery. And remember that the true worth of your travels lies not in the destination but in who you come to be along the way. (Anonymous)
