I think the following quotes the reason why travel a lot and try to stay longer at each place I go to.

“Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comforts 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

“Wherever You Go Becomes A Part Of You Somehow.” -Anita Desai

We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm, and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.
– Jawaharial Nehru
