this is my idea of journey now...
books are the plane, are the train, are your feet and your eyes, they are the road, they are the destination and the journey, they are home and away...they are a winding mountain path or a lonely shore...I have always travelled a lot in the past, I have seen many places and experienced different cultures that have taught me to be more tolerant towards mine and have opened my eyes and have helped me see my country under a new light...Some people say that "travel broadens the mind", that's true for reading as well...
let me know what you think...
Only throw other cultures people can understand their own. Just like translating, last year the translator that we met at Matilde di Canossa said -Only by studying other language you can understand yours,for example sometimes we know how to apply a rule or where to use a preposition, without knowing why- That sentence impressed me a lot, i have never thought about that.I always think that journeys are quite fundamental. Not only to learn other people's routine, way of life etc.. ,but especially our owns. In fact: “Not all those who wander are lost.”
