    I can't find a confirmed source for the saying "Wherever you go, there you are" -- I thought it was American baseball player Yogi Berra (legendary for his "accidentally Zen" quotes) but apparently not.

    But in any case, would it be correct to translate it as "Куда ты бы ни пошёл/поехал, туда ты попадёшься"?
