writing”Att ge sig iväg är den modigaste och skönaste av handlingar. En egoistisk lycka kanske, men en lycka är det – för den som vet att sätta värde på friheten. Att vara ensam, behovslös, okänd, främling och dock hemma överallt och ge sig ut för att erövra världen…”
Isabelle Eberhardt, ”Vägen” (äv. kallat ”Anteckningar med blyerts”)
“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I–
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
Robert Frost, The Road Not Taken (1915)
“I travel light; as light, that is, as a man can travel who will still carry his body around because of its sentimental value.”
Christopher Fry
“He who would travel happily must travel light.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
“Den verkliga upptäcktsresan handlar inte om att upptäcka nya länder utan att se med nya ögon.”
Marcel Proust
High-speed trains are often the fastest way to travel between city centers in Europe, beating short-haul flights for journeys of up to 550 kilometers.
Houston traffic ranks 5th worst in the country. So in a citywide experiment, commuters from 130 companies there volunteered to temporarily shift their work hours to see if that could help ease congestion. (…)
And preliminary results show traffic also improved. Not by much, but on two of Houston’s major freeways traffic engineers could measure a one-minute improvement in travel time during peak rush hour. Multiply that by the 32,000 cars on those highways during peak time and more than $10 million would be saved in gas and time a year.
