7 Quotes That Will Make You Want To Travel
Abbey Stoetzel

I am a big fan of traveling, and I am constantly dreaming of going to new places. What I like to do in some of my little free time is look at Pinterest, and that mainly includes things related to traveling. So here are some quotes that will make you want to travel the world:

"I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list." —Susan Sontag

"Of all the books in the world, the best stories are found between the pages of a passport." —Unknown

"Once a year, go someplace you've never been before." —Dalai Lama

"If you're 22, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel -- as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them -- wherever you go." —Anthony Bourdain

"I can't think of anything that excites a greater sense of wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything. Suddenly you are five-years-old again. You can't read anything, you have only the most rudimentary sense of how things work, you can't even reliably cross a street without endangering your life. Your whole existence becomes a series of interesting guesses." —Bill Bryson

"Travel is still the most intense mode of learning." —Kevin Kelly

"I beg young people to travel. If you don't have a passport, get one. Take a summer, get a backpack and go to Delhi, go to Saigon, go to Bangkok, go to Kenya. Have your mind blown. Eat interesting food. Dig some interesting people. Have an adventure. Be careful. Come back and you're going to see your country differently, you're going to see your president differently, no matter who it is. Music, culture, food, water. Your showers will become shorter. You're going to get a sense of what globalization feels like. It's not what Tom Friedman writes about; I'm sorry. You're going to see that global climate change is very real. And that for some people, their day consists of walking 12 miles for four buckets of water. And so there are lessons you can't get out of a book that are waiting for you at the other end of that flight. A lot of people -- Americans and Europeans — come back and go, ohhhh. And the light bulb goes on." —Henry Rollins

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
