We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open. - Jawaharial Nehru
Whether you travel in wilderness or in unknown towns, traveling always imparts exhilaration. There are numerous positive facets of traveling.
To wake up quite alone in a strange town is one of the pleasantest sensations in the world. - Freya Stark
When you travel in cities, you get to know different kinds of people and their culture. There is always something to learn by meeting different people with different philosophies and experiences. Every man has got a unique bit of wisdom which can potentially inspire you. Traveling is a great way to get rid of prejudices and narrow-mindedness. You would learn to respect all humans, no matter what their race, or social background is.
The first condition of understanding a foreign country is to smell it. - Rudyard Kipling
If you travel in the wild, you get a chance o be close to nature which freshens your soul.
You listen to the soothing sounds of running streams. Experience things that just have been there long before humans lived. From the busy daily work-home-sleep schedule, you get some time out to think about life, things which really matter. Enjoy the natural sight of mountain peaks, sunsets, oceans. Actually, it's much more than sight-seeing, your attitude towards life can change forever.
No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow. - Lin Yutang
I might end up somewhere in Mexico.

" ... This is not an article advocating that you jet off to Cancun for a week and check into the local Marriott where you can enjoy margaritas and McDonalds. Not hardly. What we are talking about here is real travel, the kind where you have to acquaint yourself with a local language and culture completely different from your own, where you are not always guaranteed a continental breakfast and a heated pool. Travelling halfway around the world just to stay at somewhere with all the comforts of home just doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense. That’s a vacation. Vacations are great. They are a chance to get away from work and do some much needed relaxation, and we all need one once in a while. What vacations do not offer, however, is the critical element provided by real travelling, an authentic experience. You may brag at work for a couple weeks about how many mojitos you drank last spring break, but you’ll be talking about your experience meeting a real Masai warrior in Kenya or the time you rode on the back of an elephant through the jungles of India for the rest of your life. ..."
