Introducing The Inspiration Series. I picked up Rolf Potts book, Vagabonding, before I left on my trip. The short, 200 page book is more of a philosophy on traveling rather than on hard concrete tips and tricks. I read the entire book in two days, highlighting certain passages, knowing I would return to it sometime during my trip. Today I reopened the book after 5 months of traveling. The book was a little beat up from all the abuse it has seen in my backpack, but thankfully it was still intact. I began my first reread, highlighting sections in a new ink color this second time through. I knew when I started that I would have a different outlook on my travels at different points in my trip. This turned out to be true. My fears and worries when I started the trip are not the same fears and worries I carry with me today.
I became a bit inspired again reading through different passages in the book, and decided to merge some quotes with photos I have taken during my travels. Hopefully these will inspire, or maybe amuse you. In any case, if you enjoy the picture please add it to Pinterest or Like it on Facebook.
Thanks so much for following along with me as I continue on my adventures.
