Shouldn't life be less about the destination and more about discovering all the cool fun things that lie along the way? I think so.I've found that taking the alternative route (both physically and metaphorically), discarding both A and B in my life equation and discovering the amazing world that lies off the main road is the only road for me.

One of my very good friends Rob summed up me and my pull towards brown tourist signs very articulately the other day, I couldn't even attempt to paraphrase him so here's what he said. Trust me, this man really knows what he's talking about...

You side with the lonely, the ignored, the forgotten and the underestimated. This, to me seems to be nearer the heart of why you love brown signs. You are a brown f*cking sign".
