As a traveller, if you had to write a six-word memoir for yourself, what would it be?

I posted mine on my blog as today's entry.

I'm curious to see what others may think of themselves.

What's a memoir? Confused Do you mean an epitaph? Or a six work title to describe your travel experience?

Ginger, a memoir is an autobiography of sorts. A six word memoir is the CliffNotes version. Big Grin
I wanted to see if others of the travel obsessed persuasion would write travel related memoirs as well.

Kathy, I LOVE yours. Wish I had thought of it, because I could have pretended I meant it in a sales and marketing sort of way. Garlic Man

My runner-up memoir was "Strangers are merely my future friends."

"So what was this all about?"

or, the reverse:

"I have finally figured it out!"

I am really not sure which! Big Grin

I did this a few months ago on my blog, so I didn't have to think. Big Grin

Travel often, with book in hand.

5 words for me and they're hardly original:

Well, it is not exactly travel related, but it did signal a change in my life for the better:
