Hello Again Thoughtful Travelers!  Welcome to today’s thought for March 2, 2016. 

It’s by Aldous Huxley, the English author of “The Brave New World”.  He lived from 1894-1963.

“To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.”

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

“Traveling brings together people from many different countries, cultures, religions, socio-economic systems, and political backgrounds.  Everybody is constantly eyeballing everyone else, observing behaviors, actions, and everyday life.  Business interactions and casual conversations reveal even more about locals and other travelers.  And, we learn a lot, or rather, we re-learn a lot, because much of what we thought we knew was not so accurate.  The world is dynamic, and the best way to keep up with the changes, and understand it properly, is to travel.”

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!
