― Kirsten Hubbard , Wanderlove

4 " Impulsive isn’t something you choose. It’s something you
are. "

― Kirsten Hubbard , Wanderlove

5 " Well... I love moving in extra dimensions. Not just backwards and forwards, but up and down and around. And fins. I love swimming with fins— human feet are practically useless underwater. I love all the unique things you see on each dive. Millions of
little aquatic soap operas playing out between all the creatures. And the silence. Well, it’s not really silent
down there, but the roar of bubbles blocks any other
sound... "

8 " Envy is when you want what someone else has. Jealousy’s when you also don’t want them to have it. "

― Kirsten Hubbard , Wanderlove

9 " Wanderlust is like itchy feet. It’s when you can’t settle down. But Wanderlove is much deeper than that . . . it’s a compulsion. It’s the difference between lust and love. "

11 " Even when life turns out different than what you've planned, it's always better to try and fail than to wonder what could have been. "

― Kirsten Hubbard , Wanderlove

12 " Hearing about vacations is like hearing about dreams -- no one cares except the person who's experienced them. "

― Kirsten Hubbard , Wanderlove

13 " Wanderlove is about forgetting the bad things and focusing on the good. Out with the old and in with the new... The only way to escape the past is to keep moving forward. "

― Kirsten Hubbard , Wanderlove

14 " When you're three, you don't draw what you see--you draw upon your imagination. Nobody tells you to stop putting wings on people, unless you have a most unfortunate preschool teacher. You are intoxicated by your own magic. "

― Kirsten Hubbard , Wanderlove

15 " I know what it's like. To sabotage yourself. Nothing makes you hate yourself more than that. "

― Kirsten Hubbard , Wanderlove

17 " But all that's hugely unlikely -- with the exception of mosquito bites and sunburn. And yet even experienced travelers are still afraid.

"What everyone forgets -- even me -- is the people who actually live here. In places like Central America, I mean. Southeast Asia. India. Africa. Millions, even billions, of people, who live out their whole lives in these places -- the places so many people like us fear. Think about it: they ride chicken buses to work every day. Their clothes are always damp. Their whole lives, they never escape the dust and the heat. But they deal with all these discomforts. They have to.

"So why can't travelers? If we've got the means to get here, we owe it to the country we're visiting not to treat it like an amusement park, sanitized for our comfort. It's insulting to the people who live here. People just trying to have the best lives they can, with the hands they've been dealt. "

― Kirsten Hubbard , Wanderlove

18 " Because - admit it - there's something perversely appealing about sitting all alone, feeling sorry for yourself, especially when the scenery's stunning and there's a party going on behind you. "

― Kirsten Hubbard , Wanderlove

19 " You're not big on people, are you?"
"I wouldn't say that. Just ... when faced with the choice between small talk with strangers and peace and quiet, I'll choose the latter every time. You know? "

― Kirsten Hubbard , Wanderlove

20 " I guess I work in small ways. It's kind of like this story someone told me, about a guy on the beach in Mexico throwing starfish in the sea. Thousands had washed ashore. Someone asked him why - 'Why are you wasting your time, when there are so many? You can't possibly make a difference.'"

"I know that story! The man threw another one back, and said -"

"'Made a difference to that one!'" Rowan finishes. "
