"Wanderings are the best occupation in the world. When you wander - you grow, grow rapidly, and everything that is seen, is postponed even on the exterior. I can recognize immediately the people who traveled a lot from a thousand of others. Wanderings can cleanse, bind meetings, centuries, books and love. They bring us together with the sky. If we have received unproved happiness to be born, then we must, at least, see the land we live on." Konstantin G. Paustovsky
