Greetings Thoughtful Travelers!  Welcome to today’s thought for July 17th!

It’s by Arthur Frommer, an American travel writer, best known for his budget guidebooks to Europe.  He was born in 1929.  

“In general, my advice is to seek out people and new ideas when you travel.”

So what are your thoughts on today’s quote? Here’s mine.

“Frommer became famous with his Europe on $5 a Day guidebooks, which is what I used on my first trip to Europe.  If you’re traveling on the cheap, you better find some free entertainment.  What’s better than making friends, exchanging ideas, and learning about people from different lands and cultures?  People love nature, but most of us are most attracted to other people.  It’s just the way we’re built.  What’s the use of traveling abroad and returning home with lots of souvenirs, but no memories of the people there and the way they live?  Sounds like a big waste to me!”

Now…here’s the list of all the sources quoted in July. I hope you’ll stop by each day to enjoy all the interesting and insightful things they have to say.  Thanks, and see you tomorrow!
