We Couldn’t Say it Better Ourselves!

"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page." - Augustine

Some people love to travel. Some do not. Donna and John are among the first group and both have a fair amount of nomadic tendencies. John spent time teaching in Korea and Donna taught in the Alaskan Bush. Now our annual road trip helps fill the need to explore new places. It is often difficult to explain why travel is so ingrained in each of us and we find others are often better at putting our thoughts into words. These quotes capture our thoughts more eloquently than we are able to.

“He who does not travel does not know the value of men.” – Moorish proverb
