Quotes by Josh Gates
I ended up at Tufts because I fell in love with its unique theater program and because I wanted to go to a liberal arts school where I could study a variety of subjects. Also, my parents were less than an hour away, so I could bring home laundry on the weekends.
I spend about 200 days a year abroad, so I love being able to connect with fans and share some of my experiences firsthand.
I've driven through Pennsylvania several times, but I've never been through the Lehigh Valley. Another new destination to explore. I can't wait!
I spend most flights staring out into that endless cloudscape and watching the planet drift by below. I never understand people who close the window shade. There's magic out there.
I'm most fascinated by remote places and lonely islands, which are also the hardest places to reach.
I'm head-over-heels in love with Southeast Asia. Every time I touch down in Thailand, Cambodia, or Vietnam, the air washes over me, and I feel like I'm home. From the people to the food to the history, there's just no place like it.
I think that it's important for people to understand that there's a lot of mystery left in the world, there's a lot of wonder left in the world and there are places that we don't fully understand.
