Quote of the day

Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.

— Mark Twain

[via non blogging younger brother who’s about to sail away from his safe harbour]

12 years? And have you lived in Germany all that time or elsewhere?

Denmark (Copenhagen) nearly 3 years, US (Kansas City) just over a year and the remainder in Germany.

On the one hand I can wholeheartedly advocate living abroad, but I travel quite regularly and have to confess that it has lost much of its initial allure. You never seem to have sufficient time to really enjoy the destination, but it does make coming home all the sweeter.

I hope your brother enjoys the change.
