"we believe that we can be somehow truer to ourselves when we are not in our true environment. We may may be terrified to ask for intimacy as we sat in our own living rooms, but are convinced that the simple act of boarding a flight of over a thousand miles will loosen our tongues and make us suddenly able to see deeply into the soul of another and discover them looking back at us with fascination and surprise. And in some ways, we're right. " -----judith babcock wylie

"As we pack our travel wardrobe, we pack a new attitude, one more open, more vulnerable, more willing to be touched by who and what we see,.........For most of us, loosened from the strictures of home rules and away form the eyes of those who know us as we've always been, taking small chances in the essence of the advantureous travel experiences,......learning life lessons in a foreign language,....." --------judith babcock wylie

"Many people think we travel to rush out into crowds of people, but most of us travel to travel within. There is no more quiet and central space than the anonymity of being in a foreign place without ties or obligations.

In quiet moments sitting alone at a cafe, looking down on a village from the edge of a cliff, or in the suspended peace of a soaring cathedral, we can pause to look back with objectivity and forward with intelligence,..with distance we can see patterns, themes, and questions our life has posed to us and sometimes, in a faraway place, the answers will come"-------judith babcock wylie
