I am currently planning my next journey. As usual I am also wondering what motivates me -and why, what fuels the fire and what’s the point of it all. (I’mm also wondering whether to have Marmite or Marmalade; the toaster’s toasting and I’mve got about 90 seconds to publish this post.) So here’s another possible explanation to it all. (Thanks, Andy, for sharing this.)
“Ladies and gentlemen I am in search of great adventure!I want to ride the leathery flesh of an Indian elephant, naked, and eat the exotic fertilized duck egg of the Filipino jungle natives! I want to lick the walls of the Romanian salt mines and paint my face lead-white in Kyoto! But alas, I am confined to s***** yuppie parties, drowning in the hummus bowl and discussing Lithuania’s relation to the Slavic and Nordic cultures…F*** that! Blood will be shed!Now is the time of mutiny and insubordination!”
You are a rebel with a good cause, my friend. Long may you reign, Alistair.
