WRITING
“STOP THE CAR. Talk to strangers. Smile. Ask directions. Trust people. Trust karma. Trust your instincts. Attempt the language. Say hello. Say thank you. Say yes. Taste everything. Drink firewater. Dance. Wander. Touch the earth. Enter the water. Climb the mountain. Confess the stars. Kiss a stranger. Embrace the dawn. Drive. Get lost. Be found. Be good. Be bad. Stretch. Listen. Love. Leave. Lose the map. Ignore the emails. Abandon your shoes. Write it down. Never forget. Never look back. Never go home. Travel is everything.”
