Deep Solo Trip Quotes
- Travel broadens our perspectives. Suddenly, the palette with which we paint the story of our lives has more colors (Rick Steves)
- Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comforts of home and friends. You are constantly off balance.

- Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you, it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you, hopefully, you leave something good behind (Anthony Bourdain)
- Travel sparks our imagination, feeds our curiosity, and reminds us how much we all have in common (Deborah Lloyd)
