The meaning of traveling


“I am a citizen of the world (Diogenes).”


...Travel is essentially any exploration of unknown places. All my fears about missing out on adventures by moving to the city were obliterated by my travel experiences. Wandering new continents and meeting other travelers illustrated a strange, but seemingly inherent nomadic tendency that exists in many people. Many times, exposure to travel imagery in magazines and television create pre-conceived ideas about places that might be unrecognizable to others. To what effect do preconceived notions about the places the traveler goes to shape how he perceives those places? Can one escape this subjectivity and really come to know a foreign place? Surely, the natives of any given travel destination know their country and cities better than anyone else, but why is it that sometimes a traveler seems to see more about a place than the native?.......

目前旅行的意義對我而言,是一種逃離現實、忘記自己原有之角色
過程中享受生命中不一樣的驚奇,體驗相似卻不不同之生活
若能遇到頻率相同之路人或是寫寫信給遠方的朋友
都是十分享受的事 :)
