“I have a deeply hidden and inarticulate desire for something beyond the daily life.” -Virginia Woolf, The Diary of Virginia Woolf
“The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.” -Christopher McCandless, letter to Ron Franz
(Often attributed to Jon Krakauer in his book “Into the Wild”, based on the life of McCandless.)

“So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.” -Jack Krakauer, Into the Wild
“In order to be, you must do. All great things start from that one adventure, that one dream, that one idea, that one step. To adventure is to find yourself whole. To adventure is to have a story at the end of all this. The places you see, the things you make and the people you meet will fuel you forever. Choose to see beauty where others see none. Strive for greatness always. We want to inspire you to do more, to be more, to feel good lost and explore always.” –Stay Hungry motto
“Discovery consists not in seeking new lands, but in seeing with new eyes.” -Marcel Proust
