A year exploring the world in the footsteps of others...


​"We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time."

                   - T.S. Eliot  "Little Gidding"  - 1943 CE

                                                       
       
"السفر - يتركك عاجز عن الكلام، ثم يحولك الى حكواتي." 

“Traveling—it leaves you speechless, then it turns you into a storyteller.”

                   - Ibn Battuta  - 1353 CE


我們把目光投向遠方的野蠻地區 隱藏在淡淡的蒸汽的藍色透明之中 而我們的帆似地高高地像雲 樣展開 晝夜繼續它們的航向 像星星 樣迅速地穿過那些野蠻的波浪

"We have set eyes on barbarian regions far away, hidden in a blue transparency of light vapors, while our sails, loftily unfurled like clouds, day and night continued their course, rapid like that of a star, traversing those savage waves."

- Admiral Zheng He - 1431 CE (inscription on monument at Liu-Chia-
Chang)


“I can’t say, over the miles, that I had learned what I had wanted to know because I hadn’t known what I wanted to know.”

                   - William Least Heat-Moon  "Blue Highways" - 1978 CE
​

​"He travels the fastest, who travels alone." - Rudyard Kipling
