Greetings Thoughtful Travelers!  Welcome to today’s thought for January 10, 2016.

It’s by the one and only William Shakespeare, the English poet and playwright who lived from 1546 to1616.

 “All the world is a stage.”

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

“Travelers can go anywhere because the whole world is our stage also.  Modern tourism has made virtually every corner of the world accessible to us.  And, no matter where we’re from, we all belong to the same planet, and we should all have the “right” to visit any part of it.  We don’t need to self-limit ourselves to the area where we were born or places with similar cultures and landscapes. To truly become responsible global citizens, we need to know as much as possible about the entire world.  Shakespeare realized the possibilities of the whole world as his stage and travelers should look at it the same way.”

Now…here’s the list of all the sources quoted in January.  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!
