Travel Quotes

Here are some things that very important people have said about packing up and hittin the road:

“Travel brings power and love back into your life.” 
― Rumi

“Now more than ever do I realize that I will never be content with a sedentary life, that I will always be haunted by thoughts of a sun-drenched elsewhere.” 
― Isabelle Eberhardt, The Nomad: The Diaries of Isabelle Eberhardt

“Not all those who wander are lost.” 
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.” 
― Robert Louis Stevenson, Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes

“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.” 
― Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky

“But that's the glory of foreign travel, as far as I am concerned. I don't want to know what people are talking about. I can't think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything. Suddenly you are five years old again. You can't read anything, you have only the most rudimentary sense of how things work, you can't even reliably cross a street without endangering your life. Your whole existence becomes a series of interesting guesses.” 
― Bill Bryson, Neither Here Nor There: Travels in Europe

All of that said, I'm so excited to be leaving on a solo journey to some of central Europe's most majestic destinations.  I'll fly into Berlin, catch a wedding in Malmo/Copenhagen, hunt for a circus in Budapest, absorb magnificent Mozart in Vienna and lastly enjoy the romantic ambiance of Prague.  

As usual, I'm hoping to share all of this with you via this blog.  Please comment if you see something you like or are curious about and let me know if you have suggestions about places to visit (or how you travel best)

Catch ya later...first stop Berlin

Love,
