A Traveller's Research
Quotes, etc.

A few years ago, we traveled to the small village of La Motte-d’Aveillans in the South East of France to meet and film with the winner of the #MyTrailDog competition, Gaëtan Ugnon-Fleury and his dogs, Pépite and Jolyn. Our time with them taught us some simple lessons that we often forget in the rush of life. Trail Dog is an ode to the beauty and happiness that can be found in the simplest of things – friendship.
The outdoors is for everyone. Nature provides the freedom to be yourself with no judgment and no rules. Be your true self. Any Path. Your way.

The unbelievable story of James Golding, 2 times a cancer survivor.
He overcomes extreme challenges to break the seven day cycling world record in an attempt to qualify for Race Across America, the toughest cycle race in America.
If you can’t fly then run,
If you can’t run then walk,
If you can’t walk then crawl,
But whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.
― Martin Luther King Jr.
Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.
– Anthony Bourdain
In this inspirational TED Talk, adventurer and explorer Ben Saunders motivates us to get outside more. Not because it’s always comfortable, pleasant, and happy, but because that’s where the meat of life is, “the juice that we can suck out of our hours and days.”
To awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the most pleasant sensations in the world. You are surrounded by adventure.
~ Freya Stark, Explorer (January 31, 1893 – May 9, 1993)
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of the intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the beauty in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that one life has breathed easier because you lived here. This is to have succeeded.
― Ralph Waldo Emerson
Follow your dreams and make new tracks.

… taking the long way home through the market I slow my pace down. It doesn’t come naturally. My legs are programmed to trot briskly and my arms to pump up and down like pistons, but I force myself to stroll past the stalls and pavement cafes. To enjoy just being somewhere, rather than rushing from somewhere, to somewhere. Inhaling deep lungfuls of air, instead of my usual shallow breaths. I take a moment to just stop and look around me. And smile to myself. For the first time in a long time, I can, quite literally, smell the coffee.
~ Alexandra Potter, The Two Lives of Miss Charlotte Merryweather
