Teach, Learn, Share

"Just do it and dont postpone!" - A wise old man

" Its important to travel when you're young: you travel light and cheap and your heart is like a sponge. The paths across the world make up a school which tempers the character and reinforces tolerance and solidarity. You learn to give and take, and above all, to share. You learn to enjoy small things, to value what you have, to be happy in times of scarcity and to celebrate abundance. You learn to listen, to watch, and to love " -Ana M Briongos, famous travel-writer

They are good enough lessons to learn as any I think.
