Quotes from our contributing authors

"At each pothole we bump our heads against the ceiling. At each bend we are pushed and pulled like an accordion played by an enthusiastic musician."

- Marianne Crone

"The sleepy village... was a rare find. A gateway to a unique and amazing travel experience that hadn't been contaminated by the commercialism of tourism. A travel experience that was still pure."

- Jason Godfrey

"Take time to get to know each person you meet, every smile, tear or frown has a reason, a story. A smile could be a mask for sadness, a tear a sign of happiness, things sometimes aren't what they seem. Explore. Ask. That's travel."

- Angela LCW
