“For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move.” This one of motivational thoughts of Robert Louise Stevenson is bloody close to me. As I told before I had a habit, no, rather a need to wend to shorter or longer wanders on my early childhood. Needless to say it hapenned without a permision of my parents more often. They could not understand why it was so, I couldn’t also, but it wasn’t substantially for me at that moment because my ass ache was more important than existencial questions:-). Now I know – such I simply am. It is my natural need and there’s no need to oppose or supress it. What the travel is? – It is a disruption of our habitual borders. Why we need it? – To expand those (borders). Both external and internal. Below I offer here some great motivational thoughts about a travel to keep up this natural passion.
