“The best kind of travel involves a particular state of mind, in which one is not merely open to the occurrence of the unexpected, but to deep involvement in the unexpected, indeed, open to the possibility of having one’s life changed forever by a chance encounter.”

Great quote! When you travel, it’s a good idea not to plan everything about your travels. Go with the flow and see where it takes you. Surprises can be around every corner, if you allow them to flow to you.

This quote suits most to a around the world traveler, who gets to witness the most unexpected.

David: State of mind follows you ever where you go-the challenge is to keep your eyes and mind open! I have yet to make it around the world, but have had amazing unexpected encounters…
