“It seems that the more places I see and experience, the bigger I realize the world to be. The more I become aware of, the more I realize how relatively little I know of it, how many places I have still to go, how much more there is to learn. Maybe that’s enlightenment enough – to know that there is no final resting place of the mind, no moment of smug clarity. Perhaps wisdom, at least for me, means realizing how small I am, and unwise, and how far I have yet to go.”
-Anthony Bourdain, 2006

Hey Corey, what a great post! I agree tots with this statement., and I am glad that you are thinking about this sentiment. This is something that slowly unfolded for me on the road, a long time ago. I am conscious that there is no Eureka moment. This awareness makes for a constant, learning, process. It keeps us alive and fresh for more adventure. Thanks for sharing. Bon voyage!
