Sandalsand deals with travelling in a wide sense, beyond just describing actual trips. Let's look out the window and see what we can find together.

Quotes

You can’t stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes. 

A.A. Milne

I have wandered all my life, and I have also traveled; the difference between the two being this, that we wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment.

Hilaire Belloc

Hitler didn’t travel. Stalin didn’t travel. Saddam Hussein never traveled. They didn’t want to have their orthodoxy challenged.

Howard Gardner

Traveling – it makes you speechless and then turns you into a storyteller. 

Ibn Battuta

Arriving at each new city, the traveler finds again a past of his that he did now know he had: the foreignness of what you no longer are or no longer possess lies in wait for you in foreign, unpossessed places.

Italo Calvino

In both business and personal life, I’ve always found that travel inspires me more than anything else I do. Evidence of the languages, cultures, scenery, food, and design sensibilities that I discover all over the world can be found in every piece of my jewelry.
