Life is limited
days are short
the world is big
and I have a traveller's heart
that beats with adventure
and a passion for culture

My brain tells me it’s crazy
but I only wish I could drop everything
and travel everyday for the rest of my life
because even if I started now
I couldn’t reach every corner
and every edge
and that is the most painful thing
for someone with a traveller's heart

The author's comments:

I love to travel and have been all over the world. The hardest thing for me is realizing that I won't be able to see everything the world has to offer in my lifetime. It breaks my "traveller's heart".
