Be willing to allow a little room for a good story. Either learn to be flexible or learn to be disappointed with life.

Travel produces this type of disease called "temporary inspiration". I think a true traveler grabs that inspiration and teams it up with their new perspectives; which gives them the power to be happy anywhere. -s.skelton

It is when life is stripped of all things recognizable; that is when you are you able to see it as it really is. -starla skelton

"Another beautiful aspect of travel is that it allows your wounds to breathe. And if you’re lucky enough, to even heal. Your mistakes have time to reflect and this time, with different eyes." -s.a.s.

We are all artists creating our lives from pieces of happiness and memories that we refuse to forget...molding and shaping ourselves. The key is learning to grab hold of the hands trying to muddle the colors of our dreams and push them away, refusing to let chaos destroy the masterpiece we are destined to make. -Tasha Cortesi

Good Quotes,,compliments of Dugan.

In reality, long-term travel has nothing to do with demographics-- age, ideology, income-- and everything to do with personal outlook. Long-term travel isn't about being a college student; it's about being a student of daily life. Long-term travel isn't an act of rebellion against society; it's an act of common sense within a society. Long-term travel doesn't require a massive "bundle of cash"; it requires only that we walk through the world in a more deliberate way."

-Rolf Potts

"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him."

-Henry David Thoreau, Walden

"Wanting to travel reflects a positive attitude. You want to see, to grow in experience, and presumably to become more whole as a human being. Vagabonding takes this a step further: It promotes the chances of sustaining and strenghtening this positive attitude. As a vagabond, you begin to face your fears now and then instead of continuously sidestepping them in the name of convenience. You build an attitude that makes life more rewarding, which in turn makes it easier to keep doing it. It's called positive feedback, and it works."

-Ed Buryn

"There are always people who dare to seek on the margin of society, who are not dependent on social acceptance, not dependent on social routine, and prefer a kind of free-floating existence."

-Thomas Merton

The world bursts at the seams with people ready to tell you you're not good enough. On occasion, some may be correct. But do not do their work for them. Seek any job; ask anyone out; pursue any goal. Don't take it personally when they say "no"- they may not be smart enough to say "yes." -keith olbermann
