Quotes

“I'm sorry, but when you're 12, you don't need a new mobile phone every few months just because a new one comes out.”
“There is something liberating about just having what you need, on your bike... A tent, a roll mat, a little bit of food, a bit of petrol in your tank and a vague idea of where you're going and that's all you need.”
