The Perfect Traveler


Tanya in the ruins

“A true traveler is always a vagabond, with the joys, temptations and sense of adventure of a vagabond. Either traveling is “vagabonding” or it is no travel at all. The essence of traveling is having no duties, no fixed hours, no mail, no inquisitive neighbors, no receiving delegations, and no destination. A good traveler is one who does not know where he is going to, and a perfect traveler does not know where he is coming from. He does not even know his name and surname.”

Lin Yutang, “The Importance of Living”.
