Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Like Mr Emerson most of us have traveled at some stage in our lives.. I know I have. Like many young Aussies I did the UK/Europe rite of passage before I was married. I spent almost two years away from home traveling, working, then traveling again around England/Wales/Scotland and the Continent. I no longer have foto memories from that time but I can recall in my mind almost all of the good and not so good times I had. From work/live in at a 200 year old pub outside London to driving around Germany, being robbed in Italy then our van breaking down to spending a week camping on a nudist beach on Corfu in Greece. Now that was a real eye opener.
Those two years were among the most enriching times of my life.

Genoa, Italy a place I forgot in a hurry.
