Learning to appreciate the journey even when it rains. Every experience has value.

---

I am one of those who never knows the direction of my journey until I have almost arrived.

---

Challenging myself to step outside my comfort zone. Growth happens beyond the familiar.

---

Fueling up on laughter and good conversation. Good company makes the journey fly by.

---

Better to see something once than hear about it a thousand times.

---

I was silent as a child, and silenced as a young woman; I am taking my lumps and bumps for being a big mouth, now, but usually from those whose opinion I don’t respect. – Sandra Cisneros

---

Taking a break to soak up the local charm. Every stop is a story waiting to be told.

---

No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow.

---

Feeling a connection to something bigger than myself. This journey is about more than just me.

---

Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.
