Hey Guys,

So i thought i'd like to start off my blog with a quote that someone very special showed me right before I left Canada for this adventure. In essence I think it really explains some key reasons why people take the risk and seize the opportunity to travel.

"We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate. We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed. And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again- to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more." - Pico Iyer
