You asked about my favorite Adv. Quote, this is my answer: “The one who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd. The one who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one has ever been.”— Albert Einstein. Excellent Digest, and the pictures are marvellous congratulations

Words spoken by a wise adventurous man, Einstein.

I was going to add the Mark Twain quote, but you got it for #39 ;) A poster with those words were on my wall as a kid, it really helped encourage me to travel and explore. Nice compilation!

No adventure quote is even complete without a Mark Twain entry!

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.

OMG!!! Awesome!! I started my first solo trip 6 month ago, I was do afraid, I quit my job because I really wanted to travel ti Thailand. I did, I spent the 5 best months of my life. Now I just want to come back and I will ;) Definetely... Travel is a lot about living. really

@suitcasemama and I are based in Thailand, come back and visit! :)

Hey I did the same 5 years ago :)

Quitting a job for the sole purpose of travelling is one of the most thrilling things a human can experience, in my opinion. Great for you! Hope you enjoy and make an important discovery! Take care! <3

I think I like #45 the best, as it is the one I can identify with the most, having found $150 during a walk one day. Some other materials that have inspired my own wanderlust is the book, "Evasion" (Author Unknown), and the movie, "Into the Wild". With that second one you should probably ignore the ending, as it is a "buzzkill" of sorts. Thanks for sharing and inspiring. I hope to return to my travels again soon. Much love! <3
