    I'm terrified of the possibilities, of the things I can't control.

I also used to feel like that - most trips I needed to know where we would go for the next three days, when and why because I felt that I needed to prepare for everything. But as I travelled more, I realized that when you know how it will all play out, it takes the excitement away. And there will always be things that you can't control.

Travel is improvization. If everything is under control it's just a guided tour. Yes, it's scarier but it's so much more fulfilling to seize those opportunities. As long as you have a map, your phone and someone to call you'll be totally fine.

Above all, try something. - Franklin D. Roosevelt
