Begin to look at maps with the narcotic tingle of possibility.

If in doubt, just walk until your day becomes interesting.

Indeed, the most vivid travel experiences usually find you by accident, and the qualities that will make you fall in love with a place are rarely the features that took you there.

What better way to discover the unknown than to follow your instincts instead of your plans.

Travel, I was coming to realize, was a metaphor not only for the countless options life offers but also for the fact that choosing one option reduces you to the parameters of that choice. Thus, in knowing my possibilities, I also knew my limitations.

The mind can be a crazy monkey that is always dying to escape from the moment.

If you wander with open eyes and simple curiosity, you'll discover a much richer pleasure - the simple feeling of possibility that hums from every direction as you move from place to place.
