Tourists don't know where they've been, travelers don't know where they're going.

Travel is glamorous only in retrospect.

You define a good flight by negatives: you didn't get hijacked, you didn't crash, you didn't throw up, you weren't late, you weren't nauseated by the food. So you are grateful.

Extensive traveling induces a feeling of encapsulation, and travel, so broadening at first, contracts the mind.

Gain a modest reputation for being unreliable and you will never be asked to do a thing.
