Marcel Proust wrote: " The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes . In this sense, it starts a new journey at the same point where we have returned from the previous one, namely the "zero kilometer" of his soul, but with new eyes. It is not actually traveling to a destination in particular, traveling first to himself. This is, I think the deeper meaning of the reflection of Henry Miller that " our goal is never a place but rather a new way of seeing things ". A new way to look with different people and places that are never too far away, up to question day after day, even their own certainties. The discovery of the 'other' is thus the quintessence of every trip . Paraphrasing Alexandra David-Neel, without meeting with the other in reality you are not traveling at all, than you travel. In this sense, perhaps today we move too, but probably traveling less and less. However, as we remember St. Augustine of Hippo, " The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page . let alone write a new as you are doing good friends travel by telling your experience at our online diary! Greetings to all and the next trip together!
