Below you will see quotes from members of my family. When gifting this site to my parents I wanted to give them the gift of experiences so they could “travel with me” in a sense. So, I asked my family their favorite quotes so they could feel apart of it too. I hope to also add any quotes that I hear throughout the semester!
“Everyone can change the way we live and make our world a better place. You just need to take that initial leap. Be brave! The world is out there just waiting to be conquered!”
“If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay home. You are like a pebble thrown into the water; you become wet on the surface but you are never part of the water.
JAMES A. MICHENER”
“Travel is the key to intellectual humility for there is no better experience to develop empathy for people of all different backgrounds and experiences.”
“Walk around with your head up. Always stay open to new experiences. ”
“No investigation, no right to speak -Mike Tyson tattoo”
“This resulting humility from such an experience will carry you through life, allow you to suspend judgments of both others and yourself, and hopefully provide you a deeper sense of gratitude for the multitude of blessings in your life.”
“Truly wondrous and amazing”
“ Look inward - stay honest, leave your ego at home.”
“To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted - someone”
“A tourist is always in a rush, a traveler lives in the moment.”
“Do not travel with fear, travel with awareness”
“What is coming is better than what is gone”
