The most rewarding travel experiences do not depend on our destination or the length of our journey, but on our levels of awareness.
Tristan Gooley
I like lists. I like having things to do and places to go. This is a combination of the two.

Time or Money
I love this quote:
What I realized—not just about myself but about the world—is that time and money are commodities with an inverse relationship; to get one you need to spend the other. And I realized, for me, time is a more valuable commodity than money, so I’d rather hoard free time than extra money. Most travelers end up feeling the same way and its one reason why they find the return home so difficult, our society is built on the premise we should want more money so we can have more things, even if we don’t really have the free time to use those things.

A Quote
Night is a dead monotonous period under a roof, but in the open world it passes lightly, with its stars and dew and perfumes ... What seems a kind of temporal death to people choked between walls and curtains, is only a light and living slumber to the man who sleeps in a field. All night long he can hear nature breathing deeply and freely.
