Why? “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark TwainMark Twain “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” – St. AugustineSt. Augustine
