Why travel?

a view of Rome from Palazzo Barberini, taken in 2009

"We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next, to find ourselves.
We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world…
And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again—
to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more."

- Pico Iyer
