The most vivid travel experiences find you by accident

“The most vivid travel experiences usually find you by accident, and the qualities that will make you fall in love with a place are rarely the features that took you there.”
–Rolf Potts, Vagabonding (2003)

    Miles, dear, don’t hold back.

  4. Karla Says:

    Rolf: I am facinated by your travels- just read about your trek across Britain - ever consider the West Coast Trail on Vancouver Island? Check out ‘Mudhounds WCT’ for photos and log, you will be surprised and ‘maybe fall in love’. best to you, Karla

  5. Karla Says:

    Rolf: I did read about your travels and did mix you up with David Yeadon re: the Britain trek, very sorry. Still recommend the WCTrail and all it’s beauty, solitude, adventure and challenge. Karla
