ABOUT ME
My dream is to realize a long-term travel. Meeting travellers is a big inspiration to me.
PHILOSOPHY
A traveler came to the gates of a new city and asked the gatekeeper, "What kind of people live here?"
The gatekeeper answered with a question of his own, "What kind of people lived in the city you just came from?"
The traveler replied, "They were mostly a cantankerous lot, greedy and self-centered."
The gatekeeper answered, "I expect you will find the people here just the same."
Soon after, another traveler met the gatekeeper and asked the same question. Again the gatekeeper asked, "How did you find the residents of the city you visited last?"
The traveler answered enthusiastically, "They were warm and hospitable; truly a fine group of people."
The gatekeeper responded, "I expect you will find these folk just the same."
"You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist."
Friedrich Nietzsche
"The more I travel, the more I realize that fear makes strangers of people who should be friends."
Once upon the time there was an old farmer who had worked his crops for many years. One day his horse ran away. Upon hearing the news, his neighbors came to visit. "Such bad luck," they said sympathetically.
"Maybe," the farmer replied.
The next morning the horse returned, bringing with it three other wild horses. "How wonderful," the neighbors exclaimed.
"Maybe," replied the old man.
The following day, his son tried to ride one of the untamed horses, was thrown, and broke his leg. The neighbors again came to offer their sympathy on his misfortune.
"Maybe," answered the farmer.
The day after, military officials came to the village to draft young men into the army. Seeing that the sonâs leg was broken, they passed him by. The neighbors congratulated the farmer on how well things had turned out.
"Maybe," said the farmer.
