“Once you’ve stood on a street corner where you don't speak the language, and the world is screaming at you in colors you’ve never seen... you fucking change.”
Lokesh Tuli, Notes From Exile: The "Manual for the Broken”

Lokesh Tuli
“But real travel—It makes you a permanent exile. You are too changed to fit back into the mold of your old life, but you are too inherently foreign to ever truly belong to the places you visit. You become a ghost, haunting airports and hotel bars, perpetually looking for that next hit of pure, unfiltered reality.”
Lokesh Tuli, Notes From Exile: The "Manual for the Broken”

Lokesh Tuli
“They don't tell you about the curse of travelling.
You went out there and saw the colors, tasted the wine, saw the chaos.
You expanded our minds until they couldn't fit back into these little boxes people call ‘NORMAL lives.'
Now, the local gossip feels petty. The 9-to-5 feels like a cage.
It’s the curse of the wanderer. You fit in everywhere, so you don't fit in anywhere.”
