“Travel is very subjective. What one person loves, another loathes.” This travel quote, for me, tells of the importance not to judge other travellers for their travel choices.

“He who has seen one cathedral ten times has seen something; he who has seen ten cathedrals once has seen but little; and he who has spent half an hour in each of a hundred cathedrals has seen nothing at all.” It’s a long quote, but I feel it makes a good point! There are […]
