The Globetrotter

"The thrill of adventure, the anticipation of the unknown, the battle with insecurity, much as I enjoy them, need to be tempered from time to time by an oasis of familiarity ~ be it a place of former residence or the welcome home of relatives abroad. The temporary relaxation, the appreciation of one's experiences, the calm during which one can reflect at leisure without having to be conscious of the present, all that gives one fresh impetus, new enthusiasm to continue roaming around the globe..."
