World in My Eyes
“Let me take you on a trip
Around the world and back
And you won’t have to move
You just sit still
Now let your mind do the walking
And let my body do the talking
Let me show you the world in my eyes
I’ll take you to the highest mountain
To the depths of the deepest sea
And we won’t need a map
Believe me”
– Depeche Mode (World in My Eyes) | Travel Quote of the Day

Vienna Waits For You
“Where’s the fire, what’s the hurry about?
You better cool it off before you burn it out.
You got so much to do and only
so many hours in a day.
But you know that when the truth is told,
that you can get what you want
or you can just get old.
You’re gonna kick off before you even get halfway through.
When will you realize… Vienna waits for you?
Slow down you crazy child.
Take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while.
It’s alright, you can afford to lose a day or two.
When will you realize… Vienna waits for you?”
– Billy Joel (Vienna) | Travel Quote of the Day

The first study large […]
