My father told me along long time ago... "Jecca, keep a record of all the places you will ever work, so you can look back on and see how far you have come". And so I did.
Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.
A lot of people prefer the road less travelled because it means less change and less change results in less conflict. So many make choices that are safe and comfortable so they avoid the road less travelled because its the safer path. However, at the age of 16 I knew I WAS NEVER going to take that path....
One of my favourite quotes by Robert Frost, around the year 1920, wrote the quote called
'The Road Not Taken'...
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
By ― Robert Frost
