Chinese Tu Lung  in the late 1500’s describes his relationship to life and travelling.

The Travels of Ming-Liao-Tsu: “He was tired of the hypocrisy and of being unable to converse freely “when we have so much we would like to say to each other”,he felt “like a caged monkey”, to the extent that “even when a louse bites our body and our skin itches, we cannot scratch it”, tired of “the desire of possession and the fear of loss”. So, hoping to “emancipate his heart and liberate his will”, Ming-Liao – Tsu “set forth to travel to the Land of Nonchalance”. A hundred coins were all he took with him, and whenever a present caused him to exceed that total, he gave it away to the poor. For to him travelling was flight from normal living, from “wealth and power and the glories of this world in which people are easily drowned”, flight from worry about the tomorrow. If disaster struck, he would either die or he would not, and if he did not, he would continue his journey. His purpose was to train his mind to be immune to the tragedy of life, to learn to commune with nature, to be able to see all he wanted to in every plant or insect, and to be content to spend a whole day counting the pistils of flowers. They, and not humans, were his soul mates. In their company he was not lonely. Once he had acquired true peace of mind, he was ready to go home, build himself a hut, and never move again. (Zeldin,1994, 184)
