Outdoor Quote: Rolf Potts
March 31st, 2008
“Travel by its very nature demands simplicity. If you don?t believe this, just go home and try stuffing everything you own into a backpack. This will never work, because no matter how meagerly you live at home, you can?t match the scaled-down minimalism that travel requires. You can, however, set the process of reduction and simplification into motion while you?re still at home. This is useful on several levels: Not only does it help you to save up travel money, but it helps you realize how independent you are of your possessions and your routines. In this way, it prepares you mentally for the realities of the road, and makes travel a dynamic extension of the life-alterations you began at home.”
—Rolf Potts, Vagabonding (2003)
