Restlessness and dissatisfaction are great travel motivators

“I was simply restless, quite likely because of a dissatisfaction with the recent trajectory of my life, and if there is a better, more compelling reason for dropping everything and moving to the end of the world, I don’t know what is.”
–J. Maarten Troost, The Sex Lives of Cannibals (2004)

Note: J. Maarten Troost, who wrote the very funny travel book from which the above quote is taken, will be the subject of my featured interview on next month’s RolfPotts.com Writers page. Sneak preview here.
