Virtual Tourist

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.

Travels

For five holidays I travelled in the Middle East and countries around. I love this region and would very much like to go back, but I felt I needed to go somewhere else for a change and went to Venezuela and Colombia this year. Venezuela and Colombia are both big countries and my time there was not enough, so that’s where I will be going next year as well.

What is so good about traveling?

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

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, how are you? Are you coming to the VT Euromeet at the end of this month? I didn't see that you signed up, but it would be cool if you came over! :-) Have a great week-end, it's sooo nice and sunny here now.

 Malena, thanks for visiting my Bcharre page. Yes, it was nice to stay in the area for a while. I enjoyed especially my visit to the Kadisha Valley.
