Journeys Without Maps as well as being a book by Graham Greene is also the ethos behind the way I like to travel.  I don’t recommend being completely helpless, mapless and lost (although that can be exhilarating), but I do love the feeling of a journey unfolding naturally with all the good and bad experiences that come with it.

For me, travelling is learning.  Not just learning about geography and history, but learning about people and even learning about yourself.  It doesn’t have to be incredibly difficult or incredibly special, it doesn’t have to be to some far off destination.  It just has to be somewhere to go.

And in that vein, I’ll go almost anywhere once.  Perhaps even twice.
