Please translate the phrase "I travel therefore I am" into Latin. I am looking for a play on the philosphical phrase "I think therefore I am" (cogito ergo sum). Therefore, the portion "I am" should entail the concept of existence, or to be alive as a human being. |

Hi jdodd-ga - I suppose that travel these days might allow plenty of time for philosophizing, and I'm happy to oblige you with: Itinero ergo sum (I travel therefore I am) Itinerare http://catholic.archives.nd.edu/cgi-bin/words.exe?itinerare If you wanted to indicate that you travel "far and wide" you could say: Peregrinor ergo sum (I travel about therefore...) Peregrinari http://catholic.archives.nd.edu/cgi-bin/words.exe?peregrinari Good luck in your travels, alanna-ga |

How about "peragro"? As in "Peragro ergo sum" A lot of the Latin words often translated as "to travel" basically have a simple connotation of "to go" or "to march"; I think "peragro" has more of a connotation of "to wander" which might be more to your liking, if that's the kind of thing you want to imply with "travel". But I could be mistaken... |

Thank you for the help! A friend of mine suggested "eo ergo sum", but I think your suggestions are more specific. Again, many thanks! |
