“Where did I learn to travel? In my ma and pa’s living room, sitting numb-legged for hours at the altar of the bookshelf, where all the glorious maps and books were kept, awaiting their next convert.”
“I travel for the jolting, angelic act of seeking strangeness and newness and profoundness.”
“I travel because life is short, and I will not wait for fear of death or sanctuary to become a prison of my own making.”
