“Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world, you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life – and travel – leaves marks on you.”
“There are places that snap you out of your comfortable world view, take your assumptions and your prejudices, and turn them upside down.”
– Anthony Bourdain
