About Me

"When you travel, you become invisible, if you want.When travelling, you have the delectable possibility of not understanding a word of what is said to you. Language becomes simply a musical background for watching bicycles zoom along the canal, calling for nothing from you...Travel releases spontaneity. You become a godlike creature full of choice, free to visit the stately pleasure domes, make love in the morning, sketch a bell tower, read a history of Byzantium, stare for one hour at the face of Leonardo Di Vinci's Madonna dei fusi. You open, as in childhood, and-for a time-receive this world."
