On a harsh expedition, there's no space for anyone who does not intend to finish.

I felt sure we could gain the upper hand by putting ourselves in the mindset of the Incas.

Most journeys have a clear beginning, but on some the ending is less well-defined. The question is, at what point do you bite your lip and head for home?

To Succeed, you must reach for the stars, and let your imagination find its own path

Settling into a new country is like getting used to a new pair of shoes. At first they pinch a little, but you like the way they look, so you carry on. The longer you have them, the more comfortable they become. Until one day without realizing it you reach a glorious plateau. Wearing those shoes is like wearing no shoes at all. The more scuffed they get, the more you love them and the more you can't imagine life without them.

A little imagination goes a long way in Fes.

For me, a journey to Damascus is an amazing hunt from beginning to end, a slice through layers of history in search of treasure.
