Quotes to ponder:

"We see and experience things when we go to places we’ve never been that simply cannot happen by armchair travel through a Google search."

"Simply put, being in 'the moment' means that you are marveling at the newness and presentation before you. You are just reacting, not anticipating or worrying about anything."
