Travel ,
As much as you can.
As far as you can.
As long as you can.
Life is not meant to be lived in one place.
Foreword
We travel because we need to because distance and difference are the secret tonics to creativity. When we get home, home is still the same, but something in our minds has changed, and that changes everything.
“Go where?”
“Damn,wherever! As far as you can."

Davie Poplar is a large tulip poplar tree, approximately 300–375 years old, located on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, named in honor of Revolutionary War general and founder of the University William Richardson Davie.
The most enduring legend associated with the tree is that as long as Davie Poplar remains standing, the University will thrive. If it falls, the University will crumble.
According to a more recent legend, if a couple kisses on the stone bench beneath the tree, the couple will marry.
