Virtual Tourist

Ishak Pasha Palace, Dogubayazit, Turkey

Like most of you here I love travelling and don't want to wait too long before the next time it is time to take off. While I'm waiting VT is a perfect place. I am happy to share my travellexperiences with you and enjoy reading about places where I have been, places I'm going to or for me unknown places. The more I read, the more inspired I get to visit almost every corner of the globe.

What is so good about traveling?

Tayrona National Park, Colombia

Almost everything I would say. Waiting at busstations and watching people go by, the journey itself and the arrival to a new place. To see historical monuments and beautiful views. Meet people and learn about other cultures. Get new friends, taste different food ...

Some travell quotations

Tulips

The world is a book and those who do not travell read only a page. / St Augustine

... all any of us need is a very light suitcase. /Oswald Wynd

If you come to a fork in the road, take it. /Yogi Berra

The journey not the arrival matters. /T.S. Eliot

Better far off to leave half the ruins and nine-tenths of the churches unseen and to see well the rest; to see them not once, but again and often again; to watch them, to learn them, to live with them, to love them, till they have become a part of life and life's recollections. /Augustus Hare

Don't panic. /Douglas Adams

... I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move. /R.L. Stevenson

A boarder is always a temptation. /Larry McMurtry

The journey of thousand miles begins with one step. /Lao Tzu

Hi Malena, thanks for your visit to my Dresden page. Yes, we had a very nice little VT meeting there, just the three of us. Ingo and I had been corresponding on VT for several years, but that was the first time we met in person. The opera house in Dresden really is beautiful, especially the inside.

Malena, thanks for once again visiting my Costa Rica page. I've been working on it for a while and there's still more that I would like to do with it. Looks like there will be no more trips for me this year so I guess I can concentrate on that page! When are you leaving for Ecuador?

Hi Malena, thanks for visiting two of my Wales pages :-) Yes, it was a very nice walk to Penarth and the church was great!

It was! I liked Harran very much, and a homestay like that was a big part of it. Just started looking at your Galapagos pages - really lovely photos!
