Good quote! I never dreamed of traveling until I met a dreamer who wanted to travel.

And the best thing about being a traveller is that we donāt get chased by the paparazzi with cameras like they do to actors … we are the ones with the cameras! (Well, that is, except for Maggie from Monkey’s Tale who got swarmed by teenage paparazzi in Egypt š).

Am smilingly wondering why we cannot wear more than one hat . . . be a ‘traveller’ doing a lot of the ‘else’ also . . . ?

Haha, great quote! Was it said by Benjamin Button? I don’t remember it. Anyway, you and I were born to travel š Maggie

It is the hedging “maybe” in that line that makes it work, I think – less a declaration than something you admit to yourself after enough trips. Pairing it with Alta was a lovely choice too; that part of Norway has such a stripped-back, end-of-the-map quality in photos. My kids are still campaigning for a proper Arctic winter trip and images like this do not help my resistance.

Iām glad you enjoyed the quote and photo. We visited the Arctic in June, and it was freezing but so incredibly beautiful. I hope you get to experience something. Thanks for stopping by!

Such a lovely quote ā it captures that quiet moment when travel simply feels like the truest part of you. Your Alta photo makes it even more evocative.
