2. “Do we really want to travel in hermetically sealed popemobiles through the rural provinces of France, Mexico and the Far East, eating only in Hard Rock Cafes and McDonald’s? β¦ I know what I want. I want it all. I want to try everything once.”
3. “Your body is not a temple, it’s an amusement park. Enjoy the ride.”
4. “If I’m an advocate for anything, it’s to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. The extent to which you can walk in someone else’s shoes or at least eat their food, it’s a plus for everybody. Open your mind, get up off the couch, move.”
5. “If youβre twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel – as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them – wherever you go.”
6. “Travel isnβt always pretty. It isnβt always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But thatβs okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.”
7. “Food is everything we are. It’s an extension of nationalist feeling, ethnic feeling, your personal history, your province, your region, your tribe, your grandma. It’s inseparable from those from the get-go.”
8. “The journey is part of the experience – an expression of the seriousness of oneβs intent. One doesnβt take the A train to Mecca.”
9. “Travel is about the gorgeous feeling of teetering in the unknown.”
10. “When dealing with complex transportation issues, the best thing to do is pull up with a cold beer and let somebody else figure it out.”
