" The best journeys answer questions that in the beginning you didn't even think to answer."
I think that this was the most important and meaningful quote in the entire documentary. It says that journeys are supposed to open your mind and broaden your horizon in ways that you could never expect. If you expect things to happen before they do, then life is not as exciting as the unknown future. I think living life spontaneously is the best way to live. Planning your entire life and knowing what is going to happen is boring and that certainly is not how I would like to live. People go on journeys to find themselves and this quote greatly represents understanding new things that you never even thought of before. A journey does not even have to be a trip across the world, it is the realization of what you want to do and how you want to live your life in the best way possible.
"Fear of the unknown is the greatest fear of all."
This quote is closely related to the previous one. I believe that you are supposed to explore and understand as many different things that you can. People are afraid of things that they don't understand or are used to; you must explore and conquer these fears to live your life with many experiences. Doug and Yvon are very wise men in my opinion because they have gone through and experienced so many different things all over the world. I am sure they were full of fear and misunderstanding of things such as people, cultures, locations, etc. But because they went out and experienced so many different things and learned so much about the world as a whole, they understand much more and have accomplished and conquered many of the fears they would have had if they had never gone through these crazy experiences.
