Barbara Hodgson, The Tattooed Map

“Looking back I can see that there have been no breaks from one departure to the next; I start planning again before we've even arrived back home.”
Barbara Hodgson, The Tattooed Map

“Heavy burdens fell away so easily when one is traveling.”
Barbara Hodgson, The Tattooed Map
