“By traveling my eyes has been opened to parts of the world that I didn’t even know existed; the problems in the world that I didn’t know existed. It takes a lot of commitment from everybody. But everyday pays off for any of the struggles and for the stress of being on the road. You can’t have the sweet without the sour. The sour isn’t travel. The sour is all the points in between that just seem like little lows and they’re not. They’re little learning experiences. The day it stops paying off, I go home, retire my passport.”

“
Live life to the fullest! It’s the best way. Live every moment intensely because life is too short, and the moment comes when we’re going to die, and we’d have wished to do so many things we didn’t. That’s why we have to enjoy every moment. One must enjoy life.
Try not to acquire so many things, but instead have experiences. Accomplish everything you want to do no matter the effort that it deserves. Life is too short and one must relish it.
