"If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again" - Unknown quotes
It was a shocking news for me and my friend, Khun Toom when one of our friend that he hosted for the past 3 years ago died suddenly in an accident. His name is Taylor Booth. He was living with his mom at Toom's place when he was in Bangkok.
Taylor is a friendly guy, never fail to smile to anyone and everyone that he met.
He's an avid traveller.No wonder a lot of people loves him,remembers him including me.
He was in Tsjaad(Chad) when the unfortunate event happened. He was hit by a truck was being hospitalised for two days but unfortunately, God loves him more.
This is what he wrote in his Couchsurfing profile:
"The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began
Now far ahead the Road has gone
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet
And whither then? I cannot say..." - Taylor Booth @ xNOTHINGxHELDxBACKx
This is what he wrote of his profile....
"Hello. My name is Taylor - and I am a nomad.Eventhough I hardly knew you, reading the post people leave for you and how you become their inspiration inspired me as well.Such a great lost for Couchsurfing community but you will always be with us eventhough you are no longer here..
Somewhere along the way in life I gave up a sedentary lifestyle and hit
the road, always moving somewhere new, seeking new experiences.
I can't explain exactly what makes me move...except to say that I have
this wanderlust inside of me that drives me on, to feel the earth spin
beneath my feet, to wake up and see a new horizon, feel a fresh breeze
against my face....to be a stranger in a strange land.
Please dont ask me when I am going to stop travelling, I will stop when its time to stop. I wont know until I get there.
Hope to see you somewhere along the way"
