Why stay home?

"If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay home." - James Michener

Don't leave a chance for disappointment

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

Travel to Unknown

"Conquer your fear of unknown, for you would be able to explore the unexplored!" - Yayawar

Travel & Talent

"A man of ordinary talent will always be ordinary, whether he travels or not; but a man of superior talent will go to pieces if he remains forever in the same place…." - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Comfortable travel?

"When you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make its own people comfortable." - Clifton Fadiman
