There is not an ounce of overstatement if you hear: "to travel is better than to arrive." It's interesting how your travel time juxtaposed with new surroundings allows you to discover novelty every time you embark on a new journey. Be it a self-reflection, learning something new either in yourself or in your perspective, there is a feeling of adrenaline rush attached to every trip you take around the world. The road trip from Portland to Eugene is a stretch of 112 miles filled with small towns and villages - the scenic beauty along this road ranks it as one of the most beautiful countrysides in the world.
