Quotes on Travelling from Writers:
“
“You are still young, free.. Do yourself a favor. Before it’s too late, without thinking too much about it first, pack a pillow and a blanket and see as much of the world as you can. You will not regret it. One day it will be too late.”
Jhumpa Lahiri, Book: The Namesake.
“
“I will say it again and until my deathbed: backpacking was hands down the best decision I have ever made. You will learn more about yourself than you could ever imagine and you will come back a more grounded person with clearer thoughts and new perspectives.”
Kristi Chynoweth, Book: Life Is Like a Camera: Capture the Good, Develop the Negative.
