Time is your capital and life is your collateral

“In order to vagabond, give yourself as much time as you can afford. Bankroll your trip with as much of this treasure as you can, whether you measure it in hours or in months. As a vagabond, time is your capital and life is your collateral. With enough time, you finally stop counting and saving it. You can begin spending it more freely without a sense of risk, without making judgments on how you spend it. While you live, there is always time for adventures both grand and mundane.”
–Ed Buryn, Vagabonding in the USA (1980)
