Travel can also be the spirit of adventure somewhat tamed, for those who desire to do something they are a bit afraid of.

You do not travel if you are afraid of the unknown, you travel for the unknown, that reveals you with yourself.

The usual channels of university studies or secretarial work did not appeal to me. I cherished difficult dreams through confidence in myself.
