If you didn't know this already, I love travel and adventures. This picture is from Semester at Sea - which seems to be popping up a lot in this photo challenge - it's a picture of a really great day I spent with friends exploring the sand dunes and beach of Namibia. Travel has become increasingly something I love to do and am quite passionate about. The thrill of setting out somewhere new and exploring is exciting to me, and it makes me feel much more connected with the rest of the world when I can see how other people live and open my mind up to things completely different from what I know.
I have three favorite travel-related quotes that I think everyone should consider:
"For the duration of my travels, I am becoming more of who I am"
-Mary Mann
“Adventure is a path. Real adventure - self-determined, self-motivated, often risky - forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind - and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white.” -Mark Jenkins
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -Mark Twain
