Those who travel too far from home are fools.

Great quotes. Thanks for sharing. Makes me want to plan a trip.

I was wondering the same thing. Some people think too far is out of their hometown. Some others travel all the way around the world. So, what's too far?

some should NOT travel too far away from the political threads

"It's a dangerous business, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no telling where you might be swept off to."

- Bilbo Baggins

“Buy the ticket, take the ride.”

-The Great Hunter S. Thompson.

“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

I live by this. So far its taken me all over the Caribbean, and 237 feet below sea level. So much more to do...

I love these quotes!! Adventure is something I really enjoy and its nice to have someone to do it with!!
