J. Maarten Troost quotes about
connection enhances sobriety travel
The gift of sobriety is clarity and a sense of connection - and travel only enhances that.
fun believe adventure
I had grown accustomed to life being interesting and adventure ridden and, rather childishly, I refused to believe that this must necessarily come to an end and that the rest of my life should be a sort of penance for all the reckless, irresponsible, and immensely fun things I’d done before.
appreciated deprivation overload
It was as if the sensory overload that is American life had somehow led to sensory deprivation, a gilded weariness, where everything is permitted and nothing appreciated.
