A Quote on Why we Travel

I'm reading Goldie Hawn's Book and she says something worth repeating.


" I have found that when we go on a journey, we buy time, because all the newness of our surroundings keeps us sparked and alert. Travel prolongs our time, I think. I like to call it 'rubber time.' How often do we say to ourselves, Where did that year go? Hey, where did that week go? But if we go away to some place that holds a little interest for us, every moment will be filled with wonder, and our brains will peak."

Amen Goldie Amen!

Thanks for sharing gyppielou, I agree with you and Goldie. Now, should I read her book? I do like her.

So true!! That is why we also take journey's each weekend, even it's just for a day. There are so many places to discover within driving distance to home that can be covered in a day or two. The newness of discovery is so much fun!
