Travel lightly!
You are not traveling for people to see you.
|
| |
Travel slowly! Jet planes are for
getting places, not seeing places. Take time to absorb the beauty and
inspiration of a mountain or a cathedral.
|
| |
Travel expectantly! Every place you
visit is like a surprise package waiting to be opened. Untie the strings
with an expectation of high adventure.
|
| |
Travel hopefully!
"To travel
hopefully," wrote Robert Louis Stevenson, "is better than to
arrive."
|
| |
Travel humbly! Visit people and places
with reverence and respect for their traditions and ways of life.
|
| |
Travel courteously! Consideration for
your fellow travelers and your hosts will smooth the way through the most
difficult days.
|
| |
Travel gratefully! Show appreciation
for the many things that are being done by others for your enjoyment and
comfort.
|
| |
Travel with an open mind! Leave your
prejudices at home.
|
| |
Travel with curiosity! It is not how
far you go, but how deeply you go that mines the gold of experience. Thoreau
wrote a big book about tiny Walden Pond.
|
| |
Travel with imagination! As the old
Spanish proverb puts it: "He who would bring home the wealth of the
Indies must carry the wealth of the Indies with him."
|
| |
Travel fearlessly! Banish worry and
timidity. The world and its people belong to you, just as you belong to the
world.
|
| |
Travel relaxed! Make up your mind to
have a good time.
|
| |
Travel patiently! It takes time to
understand others, especially when there are barriers of language and
custom. Remain flexible and adapt to all situations.
|
| |
Travel with the spirit of a World Citizen!
You will discover that people are basically the same the world over. Be an
ambassador of good will to all people.
