All alone Quote by Elizabeth Gilbert

“I love my friends and family, but I also love it when they can't find me and I can spend all day reading or walking all alone, in silence, eight thousand miles away from everyone. All alone and unreachable in a foreign country is one my most favorite possible things to be.” quote by Elizabeth Gilbert
