I'm going on my best trip yet. Aphorisms about travel. Firstly, in the fall you remember that there are such pleasant things in the world as sofa cushions, hot cups and fascinating books. Secondly, I want to rush somewhere into the distance after the flocks

• It's a wonderful feeling to board a long-distance train without luggage. It’s as if, having left the house for a walk, you suddenly find yourself in a curved space-time - and find yourself in the cockpit of a dive bomber. And there is nothing more. No visits to the dentist scheduled for a week on the calendar. No problems piling up on the table awaiting your arrival. Not all these “social relationships” from which you risk not getting out for the rest of your life. No false friendliness on the face to gain the trust of others... I just send all this to hell for a while. All that remains are these old tennis shoes with worn out soles. Only them - and nothing else. They have already grown firmly to my feet - scraps of unclear memories from another space-time. Well, it's not scary anymore. Such memories are easily banished by a couple of beers and a ham sandwich. © Haruki Murakami

• Whatever You want for Yourself, give it to someone else...If you want to be happy, make someone else happy. If you want to be successful, help someone else succeed. If you want to receive more Love in your Life, make sure that someone else has more of it. Do it sincerely - not because you are looking for personal gain, but because You really want the other person to have it all - and everything that You gave will come to You.Why is that? How it works? The very act of giving makes You feel that You have, that You have something to give. Since You cannot give away what You do not have, Your mind comes to a new conclusion, a New Thought about You, namely: You have something, otherwise You could not give it away. This New Thought becomes part of Your Life Experience. You begin to “be” like this. And once You begin to “be,” You activate the most powerful machine of creation in the Universe - Your Divine Self. © Neil Donald Walsh

I hope you are experiencing feelings that you have never experienced before. I hope you meet people with different points of view. I hope you live the life you deserve. If not, I hope you have the courage to start over.

What is important and what is not worthy of your attention. You choose how to think about people or not think about them at all. Every day is a choice. And he's behind you.

• Conquer yourself. It is better to defeat yourself than to win thousands of battles. Then victory is yours. Neither angels nor demons, nor heaven nor hell can take it away from you. To conquer yourself, you need to conquer your mind. You must control your thoughts. They should not rage like sea waves. You may think, “I can’t control my thoughts. A thought comes when it pleases. To which I answer: you cannot stop a bird from flying over you, but you can certainly stop it from building a nest on your head.” © Buddha Gautama

• The window of the carriage is the main entertainment for the traveler. In it, as in a kaleidoscope, stops, villages, forests flash by, bridges fly by under the metal whistle of riveted beams, fields open up, changing their color from white to black and from green to yellow.

In motion, everything seems so cute and a little toy-like, as if it weren’t real. Looking out the window, the passenger becomes a little child, discovering with surprise how huge the world is, how much space and air there is in it, and not just the usual streets and houses.

There is a secret charm in the carriage window, when you look at the lullaby rocking of the wheels and do not hold your gaze on anything. The pictures fly by, as if blurred by a brush, and from this measured movement and constant change of impressions you plunge into a light drowsiness in reality, and thoughts come to your mind by themselves and just as easily disappear.

Sometimes you want to go to nowhere. Just drive and listen to your favorite music, look at the flickering lights, look at all this city bustle. Forget about all the problems and just enjoy.

• Life is a journey. For some it’s a trip to the bakery and back, for others it’s a trip around the world. © K. Khabensky
• You know, when I woke up this morning and looked back at my life, I thought: “Should I be afraid to take risks and do what I really want to do, not paying attention to other people’s opinions and criticism of me? Not paying attention to the imaginary fears that my “smart mind” draws, distancing me from the realization of my desires?” Death happens to a hundred people out of a hundred, not to ninety-nine, but to a hundred people. Is it worth worrying about her if the moment comes when she knocks on my door and says: “Well, it’s time!”? I think the worst thing is when she knocks on my door, and I, looking back at my life, will very much regret that I had the opportunity, but I didn’t take the risk. That I could approach the girl and meet her, but I was afraid that she would send me away. That I didn’t have time to tell my parents how much I love them and don’t want them to fight. That I didn’t quit a job that was boring and uninteresting to me and never took the risk of opening my own business. I will regret that I did not travel much and did not take care of my health. Etc. Now, whenever I have any doubts, I ask myself one question: “What am I afraid of?” and there are no more doubts. © Alexey Demidov

Be happy now.

All my life I have loved aphorisms. Since childhood, I wrote them down in my notebooks and diaries. I re-read it constantly. I still read them now. In your old diaries, books, the Internet.

Wise thoughts... What do they give us? What is their attractive value? After all, they haven’t sunk into eternity these days, they have flowed into social networks, websites, blogs. They post, repost, and like many times. What funny words.... What are the fashionable motivators now? Who doesn’t read them as jokes, in which there is only a grain of joke, and a lot of interesting thoughts and ideas.

We find something of ourselves in them. We seem to confirm to ourselves the correctness of our internal beliefs. Aphorisms for us, but we are already in them....

Today I want to present to you 50 aphorisms about life and travel. My favorite topic. And the theme of my “Diary of a Successful Mom,” where the subtitle to the name of the blog is an apt, slightly humorous phrase: “Life is a journey, and the journey is life!”

We are often so overwhelmed with emotions during a trip that we do not have time to comprehend them. And only at home, sitting down on the bed and experiencing pleasant fatigue in your body, do you begin to realize that incredible adventures are behind you. Even better is ahead!

2. There is nothing more beneficial for the nerves than going somewhere you have never been© Anna Akhmatova - are you losing your nerves? Don’t know how to quickly get rid of depression, heal a broken heart and find the meaning of life again? Then just pick it up and go. To places you have never been before... New countries, cities... New impressions, people, atmosphere!
3. Never save on something you can't repeat© Tony Wheeler - there are such things that you can do once in a lifetime. And only for a certain period of time. Or only in a certain place. And you should never save in this case. Do you want to go to the USA to work and travel under the Work and Travel program? Go for it! Arrived in New York and can fly in a helicopter over the city? Take the longest program! Overpay $50, but get maximum pleasure!
4. Everyone says that they dream of getting out of here, seeing the world, but when it comes down to it, they won’t stick their beak further than their birdhouse © Cartoon “Fly Your Wing” - How often do I hear from my friends and acquaintances that they also want to travel. That they envy me. That they would be happy to keep you company. But as soon as I come to them with a specific proposal, they all come up with 1000 and 1 reasons why they can’t do it this time. It got to the point that I offered some people not only to save money, but to have the opportunity to travel for free for them! And they refused.

5. We travel not to escape from life, but so that life does not escape from us© Author unknown. — Every traveler has to hear at least once in his life that we are running away from life and from ourselves, from responsibility, from adult life. This quote is a worthy answer.

6. In 20 years you will regret more about the things you didn't do than the things you did do.© Mark Twain - in my understanding, this phrase is very closely intertwined with the one in paragraph 3. There is an opportunity - go for it! Don't think twice about it. I'm only 23 years old, but looking back, I'm scared of how many opportunities I missed out on due to ignorance or doubt. For example, I can go to the USA for a year under the FLEX program or move to live in the Czech Republic. Look at your life. Perhaps right now you are faced with a question that you doubt?

7. Life begins outside your comfort zone©Neil Donald Walsh - everyone probably already knows what a “comfort zone” is, but not many are ready to accept the fact that life begins exactly there, outside this zone. Do you know how many people don’t want to stay overnight in an open-air tent in the mountains because they only see themselves in a hotel? But they will never understand what it is like to wake up at night, go out into a moonlit meadow, raise their heads and see the Milky Way above them... Breathe in the fresh night air...

8. When you find yourself in an unfamiliar place, it is not at all necessary to arrange excursions: go to the market or the train station - and you will understand everything... © Anna Gavald - when I make a plan for getting to know a new place, looking for attractions, the first thing I pay attention to are markets and flea markets markets... There really is a different atmosphere there. There are real people there.

9. It is very correct to arrive in a foreign city in the morning. By train, by plane, it doesn’t matter. The day begins as if from scratch © Sergey Lukyanenko - I recently wrote that the early arrival of low-cost airlines often before dawn is their disadvantage. But, as you can see, Sergei Lukyanenko has a different view on these issues. And somewhere you can agree with him. A day with a clean slate. Sometimes - a whole life. You live your entire day with pride. You become part of it. You are a molecule in his arteries.

10. Traveling and living are much more interesting if you follow sudden impulses© Bill Bryson - Have you ever had a trip that you seem to have carefully planned, but some impulse pushes you to do something else? It’s trivial that recently I was about to go explore the non-existent Belgrade metro, and then I just turned around and headed to the zoo, where I spent a wonderful evening. Often you need to listen to such impulses.

11. Why on earth should you visit the same place when there are still so many unexplored corners in the world?© Mark Levy - people manage to travel at the same time year after year. Relaxing in the same hotel for decades... But what's the point? The world is so huge! Why not discover a few more corners of it that you have never seen before?

12. There are only two things we will regret on our deathbed - that we loved little and traveled little.© Mark Twain — And again Mark Twain. And again “not in the eyebrow, but in the eye.” Love and travel. These impressions will always be with you. These feelings will not leave you...

13. Travel only with those you love© Ernest Hemingway - one of the main reasons why I travel on my own is the understanding that I am ready to go on a trip only with the people closest to me. These could be parents, brothers, sisters and, of course, spouse and children.

14. People don't create travel, travel creates people.© John Steinbeck - But really. We often think that we plan our trips ourselves, that everything depends on us. But circumstances are stronger. Travel paints itself on the canvas of life, adding colors to our consciousness and our worldview!

15. A train ticket raises more expectations than a lottery ticket© Paul Moran - I sometimes played lotteries. And he even won. And I dabbled in sports betting. And poker. But I have never been so excited as before buying another train ticket. Or when I found a cheap plane ticket (well, a more modern version, so to speak :)

16. I now understand that the surest way to find out whether you like a person or not is to go on a trip with him © Mark Twain - I heard from my parents that we need to do repairs together. But for myself I realized something else. If I ever decide to get married, I will first go on a hike with my girlfriend. For a week. With backpacks and away from civilization. I have long noticed that it is at such moments that all masks come off. People become themselves and you can see all their ins and outs.

17. A ship is safest in a harbor. But that's not what it was built for© Grace Hopper - troubles can await us when traveling. Unfortunately. You have to pray to God and believe in the best. But what can you do, this still rarely stops real travelers.

18. The world is a book. And whoever has not traveled along it has read only one page of it© Saint Augustine - There are more than 200 states in the world with their own nature, climate, political and government system, language and architecture. Each country has dozens of regions, no less different than the countries themselves. The world is huge and grandiose. So why do some people muddle through one page, unwilling or afraid to turn it over and read this entire fascinating book?

19. To change the world, you need to see it© t\s “Missing” - this phrase is used by a politician and a diplomat. I perceive it my way. For me, this is, first of all, the understanding that I can only change anything in my country by drawing on the positive experience of others. Although the meaning of this quote will be different for most and there is nothing to argue about. How many people - so many opinions.

20. I am not a tree, born to always stand in one place and not know what is behind the nearest mountain © Jack London - Statistics show that more than 10% of people have not traveled outside their region\region\autonomy . About 30 did not leave the country. And over 60 - did not travel further than Turkey and Egypt. And this is in the age of technology, planes and trains! It is for those who want to correct this oversight, but do not know how, that I am writing this blog.

21. Three things make a person happy: love, interesting work and the opportunity to travel.© Ivan Bunin - I would of course add that you also need health and money. However, I cannot deny the previous three things. Although with an interesting job it is difficult to remain without money, but with money, travel becomes much closer to most people.

22. To become men, boys must wander, always, throughout their lives, wander© Ray Bradbury - One of my favorite writers and such a gorgeous quote. I had no right not to include it in this collection. After all, travel strengthens and educates. They make a man out of a boy.

23. Travel teaches more than anything else. Sometimes one day spent in other places gives more than ten years of life at home © Anatole France - Yes, traveling is a lesson. Coming back from it we change. We learn a lot of new things, receive information and life lessons that will definitely be useful in life. You just need to have time, like a sponge, to absorb this knowledge.

I remained faithful and constancy to this love, unlike my other hobbies.

Because it’s mine.” (Elizabeth Gilbert. “Eat, Pray, Love”)
• “To a cheerful person the whole world seems cheerful.” (Johann Wolfgang Goethe)
• “If you are young, healthy and eager to learn new things, then I implore you - travel. And go as far as possible. Sleep on bare ground if you have to, but be true to the idea.

All this will fundamentally change you, and the world will no longer be black and white for you.” (Mark Jenkins)
• “When I was still very young and I was haunted by the urge to go somewhere where we were not, mature people assured me that in maturity they would be cured of this itch. When my age approached this standard, old age was promised to me as a healing remedy. In my older years I heard assurances that over time my fever would go away, but now that I am fifty-eight years old, I can only hope for a very old age. Nothing has helped so far. Four hoarse steamship whistles make the hair on the back of my neck stand on end, and my feet begin to stamp themselves. I’ll hear the roar of a jet plane, the warming up of the engine, even the clatter of hooves on the pavement - and immediately the eternal trembling throughout the body, dry mouth, wandering eyes, heat in the palms and the stomach rolls somewhere right under the ribs. In other words, there is no recovery; Simply put, the grave will correct the tramp. I'm afraid that my illness is incurable. I am not talking about this for the edification of others, but for my own information.” (John Steinbeck. Travels with Charlie in Search of America)

  -Are there mountains?
  “I don’t know,” said the geographer.
  - What about cities, rivers, deserts?
  - I don’t know that either.
  - But you are a geographer!
  “That’s it,” said the old man. - I am a geographer, not a traveler. I miss travelers terribly. After all, it is not geographers who count cities, rivers, mountains, seas, oceans and deserts. The geographer is too important a person; he has no time to walk around. He doesn't leave his office." (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. “The Little Prince”)

One day a close associate of the Sultan said: “Fear the night, because the night is ruled by completely different forces than those that rule the day.” And in the East the forces of mysterious magic and riddles rule. The East is a kingdom of illusions and mirages, framed within the framework of our world. This is the pungent smell of spices in the bazaars of Baghdad, this is the rustling of women's bedspreads in the narrow streets of Samarkand, this is the intricacy of calligraphic script on the mosques of Khorezm. The East... is a little pearl that everyone has in their soul... because the beauty of the oriental ornament, the mystery of the tales of the 1000 and 1 nights of Scheherazade will not leave anyone indifferent.” (From the site http://www.inpearls.ru)

• “There are only two ways to live life. The first is as if miracles do not exist. The second one is like there are only miracles all around.” (Albert Einstein)

• “Seek and see miracles all around you. You get tired of looking at yourself, and this fatigue makes you deaf and blind everywhere to everything else.” (Carlos Castaneda "The Teachings of Don Juan")
• “...wandered through the streets, looking around not with the eyes of a tourist who is looking for something that is supposed to be admired, and not with the eyes of a writer who is looking for his own everywhere (and can find a beautiful phrase in the colors of the sunset or guess the character in the face he meets), but with the eyes of a tramp, for whom, no matter what happens, everything has its own complete meaning.” (William Somerset Maugham. “Ashenden, or the British Agent”)
• “When you travel, the main thing is not to forget that the meaning is in the journey itself, and not in its end. If you rush too much, you will miss the purpose for which you are traveling.” (Felicite Robeo de Lamennais)

• “A person who goes on a trip to a country whose language he does not know is actually going to school, not on a trip.” (Francis Bacon)

• “I’m talking about real travel, son. Not about any nonsense from tourist brochures. Parisian Pont Neuf in the early morning, when no one is there, only tramps crawl out from under the bridges and from the metro, and the sun is reflected in the water. New York, Central Park in spring. Rome. Ascension Island. Cross the Italian Alps on a donkey. Sail away from Crete on a greengrocer's caique. Cross the Himalayas on foot. Eating leaf rice in the Ganesha temple. Get caught in a storm off the coast of New Guinea. To welcome spring in Moscow, when a whole winter of dog shit crawls out from under the melted snow.” (Joan Harris. "Blackberry Wine")
• “It’s very correct to arrive in a foreign city in the morning. By train, by plane - it’s all the same. The day begins as if from scratch..." (Sergei Lukyanenko. "The Last Watch")

• “No adventure-rich journey will be forgotten. Travels without adventure are not worth devoting books to.” (Lewis Carroll. “Symbolic Logic”)
• “The average delighted tourist is happy with everything because he has escaped for a while from the usual cycle of life: he does not have to jostle in public transport, buy food for dinner, take out the trash, checking the instruments, calculate the rent, go to bed early, prudently setting an alarm clock at the head, tossing and turning from side to side, composing answers to tricky questions that the boss will certainly ask tomorrow morning - nothing like that at all. A lifelong slave to the routine, he is drunk with the sudden onset of freedom, he feels so good that he almost does not see the city, which he sincerely praises; it is not surprising that the natives are only irritated by his inappropriate enthusiasm, like the babble of a drunken reveler who suddenly finds himself among sober, busy people, preoccupied with everyday affairs.” (Max Frei. “The Big Cart”)
• “My opinion about travel is brief: when traveling, do not go too far, otherwise you will see something that will be impossible to forget later...” (Daniil Kharms)

Travel as a search for yourself and the meaning of life

• “Life is not how many breaths you take, but how many times you lose your breath.” (Maya Angelou)
• “A person takes himself with him when he travels. Here he goes beyond his limits, becomes richer in fields, forests, mountains.” (Ernst Simon Bloch)
• “Rejoice! Rejoice! The work of life, its purpose is Joy. Rejoice in the Sky, in the Sun, in the stars, in the grass, in the trees, in the animals, in the people. And make sure that this Joy is not disturbed by anything. This Joy is violated, which means you made a mistake somewhere - look for this mistake and correct it. Everything is in you and everything is now.” (Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy)
• “Trust life. Wherever fate takes you, travel is necessary. You have to cross the field of life experience and check for yourself where the truth is and where the lie is. And then you can return to your inner center - a soul that has become purified and wiser.” (Louise Hay)

• “I could spend my whole life walking through a new city every day.” (Bill Bryson. “Travels in Europe”)
• “Open your eyes wider, live as greedily as if you will die in ten seconds. Try to see the world. He is more beautiful than any dream created in a factory and paid for with money. Don’t ask for guarantees, don’t seek peace—there is no such beast in the world.” (Ray Bradbury. “Fahrenheit 451”)
• “To lose your way while traveling is unpleasant, but to lose the sense of going further is even worse.” (from the film “One Tree Hill”)

• "It's good to have a ship in a safe harbor, but that's not what it was built for." (John A. Shedd)
• “People don’t make journeys… journeys make people.” (John Steinbeck)
• “I am no longer the same person who looked at the shining moon on the other side of the planet.” (Marie Anne Radmacher)
• “Like all travelers, I remember less than I saw, and I remember more than I saw.” (Benjamin Disraeli)

• “The road makes us more humble, because we understand how insignificant we are.” (Scott Cameron)
• “The road meant its own special world. You take your bag and staff, go out the door - and you are already a resident of this world, you are a wanderer. Yesterday is forgotten, tomorrow is unknown, you go and look for something beyond the horizon. You don’t know for sure, but you hope that there will be food and a fire, and maybe a roof over your head - preferably low and without stars, but at least endless and with stars. You hum the song under your breath and understand: this world with its dangers and quirks can also be loved.” (Nadeya Yasminska. “Green songs of Ermintia”)
• “To hell with all work if you live only for this! I have worked enough in my life and I can work as well as any of them. Since you and I have been traveling, I have firmly understood one thing: work is not everything in life! Crap! Yes, if all life consisted only of work, then you would need to quickly cut your throat, and goodbye.” (Jack London. “Valley of the Moon”)
• “There are probably few impressions in the world comparable to the feeling experienced early in the morning on a sunlit street about which you know nothing, in a city about which you know nothing, in a crowd of people about whom you know nothing. The joy of discovery bubbles within you, because anything can happen around the next corner. With bated breath, you expect something, like in childhood, when you read about the fairy-tale prince: “And he set off to wander around the world.” Ah, I always liked it when the prince went to wander around the world, because then the adventures began, there you could find a golden apple in the grass, and the galoshes of happiness were just waiting to be put on your feet.” (Astrid Lindgren. “The Adventures of Katya”)
• “Trust life. Wherever fate takes you, travel is necessary. You have to cross the field of life experience and check for yourself where the truth is and where the lie is. And then you can return to your inner center - a soul that has become purified and wiser.” (Louise Hay).
• “If a traveler, returning from distant countries, were to tell us about people completely devoid of stinginess, ambition or vindictiveness, who find pleasure only in friendship, generosity and patriotism, we would immediately, on the basis of these details, discover the falsity in his story and prove that he lies with the same certainty as if he had filled his story with tales of centaurs and dragons, miracles and fables.” (David Hume)

Quotes about diving

• “Diving is like meditation! A person is aware of every moment and every breath. Just imagine, you can live like this all your life - live life to the fullest every moment... every moment...” (from the film “Life Can’t Be Boring” (“Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara”))

Breakfast in a cute cafe is a must do on any trip!

Good morning! We all have things we love to do most on vacation. That's what I want to talk about!

So, 10 things I do (or try to do) on every trip. It is these options for spending time that I pay most attention to when reading a guidebook or planning an itinerary.


Barcelona, ​​Spain, 2012

I have love for funiculars and trams. If a city has a historical or simply beautiful tram route, I will definitely ride that tram. It’s the same with funiculars - I really love the views from above and never miss the opportunity to take a ride.

Adore have breakfast not at the hotel, and in a cafe in the city, observing the townspeople, choosing different places every day, carefully studying the lists of the best places for breakfast.

San Sebastian, Spain, 2013.

I love it very much spend evenings in bars or restaurants, where a lot of locals gather, where it’s lively, where you can look at people. If I made a reservation and the restaurant was empty, I would be upset. The restaurant, of course, must have very tasty food.

I love opera and classical music concerts. For me, they are also a chance to become more educated, hearing works that I have not heard before, to spend a wonderful evening enjoying the music, and just to put on a beautiful dress.

London, UK, 2014.

Adore markets! If a city has a historical or simply beautiful market, be it a food market, a flower market, or a flea market, I will try to check it out.

I love it very much river walks and I always try to take a boat ride. The views from the water are usually the best.

Vienna, Austria, 2013.

I love art galleries, especially when I’m alone and I have time to look at my favorite paintings.

Always I stop at the windows of real estate agencies, I look at advertisements, estimate the relationship between the area and the cost of housing, and dream about what kind of lifestyle I would have if I had an apartment in this city.

Paris, France, 2013.

I love ride a bike. In my opinion, this is a wonderful way to look at the city from a different perspective and feel like a resident.

I love walk late in the evening or at night through busy areas with bars and cafes, stop at the ones you like for a cocktail, and then move on.
