Age is irrelevant. Ask me how many sunsets I’ve seen, hearts I’ve loved, trips I’ve taken, or concerts I’ve been to. That’s how old I am #✈️
"Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving."
—Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky (Discworld, 32; Tiffany Aching, 2)
“Nietzsche also proposed a second kind of tourism, whereby we may learn how our societies and identities have been formed by the past and so acquire a sense of continuity and belonging.
The person practising this kind of tourism ‘looks beyond his own individual transitory existence and feels himself to be the spirit of his house, his race, his city’.
He can gaze at old buildings and feel ‘the happiness of knowing that he is not wholly accidental and arbitrary but grown out of a past as its heir, flower, and fruit, and that his existence is thus excused and indeed justified'.”
—The Art of Travel by Alain de Botton
"What we find exotic abroad may be what we hunger for in vain at home" —The Art of Travel by Alain de Botton
“What, then, is a travelling mind-set? Receptivity might be said to be its chief characteristic. Receptive, we approach new places with humility. We carry with us no rigid ideas about what is or is not interesting. We irritate locals because we stand in traffic islands and narrow streets and admire what they take to be unremarkable small details. We risk getting run over because we are intrigued by the roof of a government building or an inscription on a wall”
The Art of Travel, Alain De Botton
“ 'Anything I learnt would have to be justified by private benefit rather than by the interest of others. My discoveries would have to enliven me; they would have in some way to prove ‘life-enhancing’.
The term was Nietzsche's. In the autumn of 1873, Friedrich Nietzsche composed an essay in which he distinguished between collecting facts like an explorer or academic and using already well known facts to the end of inner, psychological enrichment”

Paddy's Creek Falls on Yellow Fork - FEEL FREE TO SHARE!

If you're a lover of the Linville Gorge and you've never heard of, or met, the "Gorge Rats," make it a point to become friends with them. I get the distinct pleasure of hiking to beautiful places that many don't get to see when I'm in their company. Today, we ventured to Yellow Fork Falls near Paddy's Creek. Honestly, in the almost 100 waterfalls that I have seen, this is truly one of the most beautiful. The hike is not easy and the trail is hard to find in places, not to mention a few sketchy creek crossings. However, I would do it all over again to see the incredible beauty I did today. I want to thank my friends and fellow gorge lovers for being such lovely tour guides today, and for all of the beautiful places you've shown me and the places we have yet to travel. Happy trails!
