Sometimes you don't know who you can and cannot trust. I still learn that over and over again.

It is better to suffer wrong than to do it and happier to be sometimes cheated than not to trust.

I sometimes think that Thomas Cook should be numbered among the secular saints. He took travel from the privileged and gave it to the people.

Sometimes I envy people who can be only half crazy with one foot in the passion and one foot in the real world. But that's not me. I dive into the total crazy experience. That's the only way to travel.

It's hard now to imagine that kind of travel and the daily tasks they simply took for granted. If a wagon axle broke you had to stop and carve a new one. To cross a river you sometimes had to build a raft.

Book tours and research provide a lot of travel - too much I sometimes think but we do take vacations.

As a child I sometimes used to travel to the West Bank to visit my family so I know what the checkpoints felt like. I knew what it was like to live under occupation.

I love to travel but sometimes it's nice to stay in one place.

I sometimes skip meals when I travel.

Sometimes you want to go for a walk and you don't want to be watched. You just want to be anonymous and blend in. Especially when I travel I feel that way because I can't really go out and see a city the way other people can and I miss out on a lot.
