"The world is a book and he who stays at home reads only one page"
I read this proverb in a magazine the other day. Unfortunately I didn't write down who it was that said, this. Nor have I been able to find out by googling it.
I am the type of person that loves traveling, and all the experiences (good and bad) that come with it. Others are perfectly content without traveling, they feel uncomfortable in their unusual surroundings. I admire both types, just because someone has traveled the globe doesn't men that he/she is a better person...
The picture above is from my village in the beautiful archipelago fo Turku.
Jag laste dethar citatet i tidningen haromdagen, men jag kom inte ihag att skriva ner vems citatet ar. Om det ar nan som vet, snalla upplys mig! Sjalv alskar jag att resa, slanga mej ut i det okanda och samtidigt lara mig nagot nytt. Andra trivs bast hemma i sin valbekanta omgivning. Jag beundrar bada typerna av manniskor, nan som har rest varlden runt ar inte battre an nan som har levt hela sitt liv i en liten by pa landsbygden.
Bilden ovan ar fran min hemby i den vackra abolandska skargarden.
Update: the bove quote is by St Augustine. Thank you Tiina!
