One of the greatest gifts we have been given in this full-time RV lifestyle is the opening of our minds to the concept of true, unbridled travel. Here are some quotes that better explain the essence of our current life than I could at this point:
- "The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page." - St. Augustine
- "A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it." - John Steinbeck
- "Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things - air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky - all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine it." - Cesare Pavese
- "Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living." - Miriam Beard
- "Tourists don't know where they've been, travelers don't know where they're going." - Paul Theroux
- "A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving." - Lao Tzu
- "Once you have traveled, the voyage never ends, but is played out over and over again in the quietest chambers. The mind can never break off from the journey." - Pat Conroy
- "Not all those who wander are lost." - J.R.R. Tolkein
