Amyr Klink"A man needs to travel by his own means, not by stories, images, books or TV. He needs to do it on his own, with his eyes and feet, to understand what he is. So, some day he can plant his own trees and give them value. So he can know the cold and enjoy the heat. So he can feel the distance and the lack of shelter to be under his own ceiling. A man needs to travel to places he doesn't know to break this arrogance that makes us see the world as we imagine it, and not simply as it is or may be. The arrogance that makes us teachers and doctors of what we have never seen, when we should just be learners, and simply go see it".
Travel has been part of human life since early days. Before human could create and control fire, before human could farm seeding the land and wait it grow, before animals was domesticated. Before it all human being had to go out and hunt to survive. Move and keeping moving around. That wasn't for fun and leisure, but for survival.
Many and many years living like that. If it is scientifically proved that we heritage from our parents theirs characteristics (behaviors, psychological characters, not only physical characters), surely this "lifestyle" to go out and explore has become part of who we (human being) are.
Like a bird, it has wings to fly. Fly away, to this whole big world, wave its wings to the unknown, not to stay inside a cage, not to stay with his feet root in the land.
Years passed, human started to settle down, then people kept moving around, but now not for survival, but as a lifestyle. Sharing, buying and selling what you have and what you don't, international trade. Making history very short and simple traveling became a way of living and a leisure.
So the theory is: traveling along human being history has become part of our genes, part of our lifestyle. There is in our genes something that tell us to go out.
Travel is freedom! Antonela is my wing!
