Road trip là đi để thưởng thức những gì thế giới đã dọn sẵn. Overland là đi để tự khai phá và viết nên bản đồ của riêng mình.

Hoang Anh Nguyen

Có 2 câu mình rất là thích. Thứ nhất là: ai không bắt đầu thì sẽ không bao giờ về đích. Và câu thứ 2 là: không có con đường nào đến hạnh phúc, mà hạnh phúc chính là con đường chúng ta đang đi.

Trần Đặng Đăng Khoa

Hiểu đúng nghĩa Phượt Thủ là mang cái gì đi. Tất cả là mang cái tâm hồn, là mang cái cảm xúc. Tức là gì. Mang cái thân xác mình đến cái chỗ mình ngắm mình nhìn, mình thích mình quan sát, mình thấy đẹp, miễn phương tiện gì đưa mình đến đấy được là phượt.
