Travel is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of the familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things – air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.
(Cesare Pavese)

so true - but travelling is also exciting and you see lots of new things...so good reasons to get a bit out of balance...don't you think..?
I like the way travel does get me experiencing the essential things. And I like coming back home. :)
