Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So threw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. --Mark Twain
This morning, I came across a blog post from a friend I met 5 to 6 years ago. Despite the limited interaction we had when we were still living in the same city, we share a common interest in travel. I remember vividly his popularity that night, when he told all those amazing stories about all the fun things he encountered during his travel. By then, I had stayed in Netherlands for a year already as an exchange student, but had too little traveling experience as compared to others who also have been in Europe for a year. To me, they travel like crazy, seizing every single long weekend (weekend with either Friday and/or Monday as public holiday) and sometimes even skipped a few lectures to fly with cheap airline during their promotion dates. I was too much of a good student, and had only been to Germany and Czech on Christmas and Easter holiday in the first year.
