When a woman travels alone, she experiences everything much stronger, more perfect than a man, everything makes her much more impressed. A woman often notices things that the man would never see […] Traveling to me is a cultural necessity. It is the realization of my will to go out of my familiar life and to enter another, still stranger. For me, the journey is a self-improvement, a longing for touching the secret of the world. […] The trip to me is a pleasure. Do not interfere with the weather, the air, the sleepless nights, the surrounding objects, or the dirt in the wagons (Olga Tschawowa)
