There are the travelers\u2014the <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/why-am-i-wanderlusted\/\" target=\"_blank\">wanderers<\/a>, who journey without aim, for the love of being on the road. There are the explorers\u2014those yearning for adventure, for the thrill of unearthing things rarely seen.<\/p>\n<p>And then there are the pilgrims.<\/p>\n<p>The magic of gazing out the window on long bus rides, the alluring call of foreign experiences, the pure, unfettered joy of unmarked locales and smiling locals: These are delights for the traveler, for the explorer with itchy feet. A pilgrim may embrace this ethos, but his itch remains unscratched. The pilgrim needs more than sightseeing and personal metamorphosis. It may be about a lesson to learn or a lesson to teach; it may be about preserving the past and enlightening the future. For the pilgrim, the journey is both purpose and project. Life may be the inspiration, but for the pilgrim, the journey becomes life itself.<\/p>\n<p>Traditional pilgrims followed well-trodden paths of saints and teachers to a sacred site. Their destination was not the place to which they traveled, but to a deeper place within\u2014growing faith along the journey, a strengthening of their devotion.<\/p>\n<p>Modern-day pilgrims also seek a profound meaning within, but their paths are often those yet to be followed. They are summoned to walk miles upon miles through the urban jungle to internalize the rhythm of their city. They are driven to trace the steps of ancestors, guided by an untraditional atlas, discovering where past and present converge. The modern <a href=\"http:\/\/yoganonymous.com\/what-my-yoga-pilgrimage-taught-me-about-appreciating-home\" target=\"_blank\">pilgrim<\/a> will blaze a trail of kindness, dependent on the goodwill of others, or seek out that which is crumbling in an effort to share it with and preserve it for future generations.<\/p>\n<p>Their love for travel is one that grows not when traversing ravines to reach a sign of the cross, or via treacherous footpaths to arrive at a temple. Rather it deepens in the small steps taken by one with empty hands and an open heart. It blossoms in the witnessing of the lives of millions of city dwellers. It expands in the observation of the past\u2019s indelible print on the present. It swells in the compassionate eyes of a fellow human, and it unfolds in the freedom of calling a small suitcase <i>home<\/i>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-55516\" src=\"http:\/\/live-wanderlust-fest.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Brownie_Clip.jpg\" alt=\"Brownie_Clip\" width=\"100\" height=\"124\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>BRIAN GIBSON<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Age:<\/b> 32<\/p>\n<p><b>Start of Journey:<\/b> September 2013<\/p>\n<p><b>Inspiration: <\/b>Film from his grandfather\u2019s\u00a0Kodak Brownie camera<\/p>\n<p><b>Pilgrimage:<\/b> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bmaygibson.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Gibson<\/a>, a filmmaker, was called\u00a0to retrace his grandfather&#8217;s footsteps through Europe to explore the overlap of past and present and examine time-altered landscapes, cultures, and experiences.

His journey has become mine, and one full of synchronicities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cAfter my grandfather died I was given his Kodak Brownie camera with his reels of film. He was a mortician in the U.S. Army, but I had never known his story. When I was 10 he had a stroke that left him paralyzed and unable to speak for the last eight years of his life. And now, here I was, watching silent scenes of his travels through postwar Europe. So I followed his path, making a film of my own. His journey has become mine, and one full of synchronicities. One of his films showed a funeral procession of black umbrellas, interrupted by a red umbrella that walks into the frame. When I arrived in Pisa, where I thought this shot was taken, I soon realized I was wrong. But later that day I met an aerial photographer who pointed me in the right direction. When I found the location and started filming, an elderly couple entered the frame\u2014the man was carrying a red umbrella.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-55517\" src=\"http:\/\/live-wanderlust-fest.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Motorcycle_Clip-768x509.jpg\" alt=\"Motorcycle_Clip\" width=\"150\" height=\"99\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Motorcycle_Clip-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Motorcycle_Clip.jpg 824w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>LEON LOGOTHETIS<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Age: <\/b>39<\/p>\n<p><b>Start of Journey: <\/b>September 2005<\/p>\n<p><b>Journeyed through: <\/b>90 countries<\/p>\n<p><b>Inspiration:<\/b> \u201cNever, never, never give up.\u201d\u00a0\u2013 Winston Churchill<\/p>\n<p><b>Pilgrimage: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.leonlogothetis.com\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\">Logothetis<\/a> watched <i>The Motorcycle Diaries<\/i> and set out to travel the\u00a0world in search of the kindness of others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had everything externally, and nothing internally. I didn\u2019t want to spend the rest of my life behind a desk making money. I needed to connect, and I wanted to do it with kindness as my currency. So I left it all behind me and began by walking across America. Then I just kept going. I relied on the kindness of others for shelter, and offered something tangible in return\u2014an apartment, paid vacation, tuition fees. What I have to give is little compared to the kindness I am shown. The people who help me often have nothing, and expect nothing in return. A homeless man in Pittsburgh shared food with me one night. Once when I was lost in Uzbekistan, a roadside melon seller took me in and let me eat with his family. <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/the-contagious-kindness-of-others\/\" target=\"_blank\">Kindness is like fuel<\/a>, and it\u2019s contagious.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-55518\" src=\"http:\/\/live-wanderlust-fest.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Frog_Clip.jpg\" alt=\"Frog_Clip\" width=\"100\" height=\"125\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>BEL KAMBACH<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Age: <\/b>49<\/p>\n<p><b>Start of Journey:<\/b> December 1996<\/p>\n<p><b>Carries: <\/b>A little green frog<\/p>\n<p><b>Inspiration:<\/b> If you forget where you have come from, you will never know how far you can go.<\/p>\n<p><b>Pilgrimage: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/about.me\/belExplores\" target=\"_blank\">Kambach<\/a> is visiting every\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/en\/list\" target=\"_blank\">UNESCO World Heritage site<\/a> to tell 1,031 stories<br \/>\nto protect our past.

But at age 4 I got on a plane with my parents. And that was it. I knew I would always find a way to travel. This idea of heritage, not forgetting our past, is what drives me now. Of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, only one remains\u2014the Great Pyramid. We have let our heritage crumble. After I turned 30, I knew I had to make it my life\u2019s work to see and share the 1,031 UNESCO World Heritage sites with my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stcloudstate.edu\/provost\/news\/faculty\/story.aspx?storyID=43860\" target=\"_blank\">students<\/a>, friends, and even strangers, to inspire others to see and help protect them. So far I have seen 160: the rebuilt Old Bridge Area of the Old City of Mostar, the Taj Mahal in India, the West Norwegian Fjords. Each one leaves me changed. Each one tells a story.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-55519\" src=\"http:\/\/live-wanderlust-fest.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Kabbalah_Clip.jpg\" alt=\"Kabbalah_Clip\" width=\"150\" height=\"155\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>DALYA YOHAI<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Age:<\/b> 66<\/p>\n<p><b>Start of Journey: <\/b>January 2008<\/p>\n<p><b>Carries:<\/b> A small notebook for drawing\u00a0Kabbalah symbols<\/p>\n<p><b>Inspiration: \u201c<\/b>Travel\u201d (from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Essential-Tagore-Rabindranath\/dp\/0674057902\" target=\"_blank\"><i>The Essential\u00a0Tagore<\/i><\/a>), by Rabindranath Tagore<\/p>\n<p><b>Pilgrimage:<\/b> Yohai was called to sell her\u00a0home, relinquish her responsibilities and materialism,<br \/>\nand embark on a simpler and <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/the-perksof-being-a-nomad-why-we-decided-to-live-in-a-van\/\" target=\"_blank\">freer life<\/a> with just a suitcase.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy mother is 94, and I have watched her health diminish with age. I knew I had to take advantage of the energy I still have. My responsibilities with children and grandchildren are done. Things accumulate over the years, but you can\u2019t hoard things in a suitcase. So I sold my home, reduced my thousands of books to only 50 at any given time, and began my journey. Six months here, three months there\u2014India, Japan, Korea, Greece, Israel, Morocco, Ecuador. It\u2019s incomprehensible to many people that I would move around so much at my age, 66. But I think that\u2019s why it\u2019s necessary\u2014to show the world we are all the same, that <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/lessons-learned-from-a-senior-yogi\/\" target=\"_blank\">age is not a barrier to spirit<\/a>. I stay in hostels so younger people can see me. I am a peace worker and I see this journey of mine as the same: to show others that our differences are small, that the world is a beautiful and friendly place.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-55520\" src=\"http:\/\/live-wanderlust-fest.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Hydrant_Clip.jpg\" alt=\"Hydrant_Clip\" width=\"100\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>MATT GREEN<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Age: <\/b>35<\/p>\n<p><b>Start of Journey: <\/b>New Year\u2019s Eve 2011<\/p>\n<p><b>Area covered: <\/b>Over 7,000 miles<\/p>\n<p><b>Sustained by: <\/b>Curiosity<\/p>\n<p><b>Pilgrimage: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/imjustwalkin.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Green<\/a> was compelled to <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/im-just-walking-a-modern-day-pilgrim\/\" target=\"_blank\">walk every\u00a0block of New York City<\/a>\u2014over 8,000 miles\u2014by a desire\u00a0to see what was out there and an appreciation for\u00a0the lives of those around him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have no clear destination. The more you look for the grand meaning of everything, the harder it is to find, so I don\u2019t look for it. I just look at what\u2019s around\u2014fire hydrants, fence posts, leaves, litter, insects. Sometimes these things reveal a larger story. Sometimes they don\u2019t. Sometimes they resonate with me in an unexpected way. Sometimes they\u2019re just tiny and inscrutable. But they\u2019re never insignificant, and they\u2019re never false. They are there for some reason. Whatever the case, they\u2019ve entered my life for a moment, and, in that instant, they\u2019re all that I have. So I try to pay attention to them. Being outwardly focused in this way has become a form of meditation for me. As I slowly learn to see what\u2019s around me, I also learn to see myself. I see that I belong to this world and that I can find everything I need within it.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-53470\"
