Hello Again Thoughtful Travelers!  Welcome to today’s thought for March 23, 2016. 

It’s by Publilius Syrus, a Syrian who became a Roman slave and renowned writer of sententiae.  He lived from 85 to 42 BC.

“An agreeable companion on a journey is as good as a carriage.”
So what are your thoughts on today’s quote? Here’s mine:

“I’m thinking this quote means that both a carriage and an agreeable companion make for smoother, more enjoyable travels.   So what makes ‘an agreeable companion’?  For me it’s somebody who is energetic, adventurous, spontaneous, low maintenance, frugal, sees the humor in any situation, rolls with the punches, and helps create great experiences and memories.  Having said that, I also believe that above all else each person should travel with as much humility, sincerity, and curiosity as possible.  Travel is a privilege.  With a good travel partner, it’s also a lot of fun.” 

Now…here’s the list of all the sources quoted in March.  I hope you’ll stop by each day to enjoy all the interesting and insightful things they have to say.  And leave a comment.  I’d like to hear your thoughts too.  Thanks, and see you tomorrow!
