Greetings Thoughtful Travelers!  Welcome to today’s thought for  August 2nd!

It’s by Tim Cahill, the American adventure travel writer and founder of Outdoor magazine.  He was born in 1944.

“A journey is best measured in friends, not miles.”

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

“The best trips are usually filled with many new friends, and possibly some old ones too. I learned a long time ago that the more people you talk to when you travel, the more you’ll learn about a destination and that translates into more fun and more friends. If you give people a chance to be friendly to you, chances are they will.  If you’re curious about them, then they’re probably also be curious about you.  Unless you’re on a Polar expedition or something akin to it, it’s hard to imagine you won’t run into some interesting locals or fellow tourists.  So take advantage of it.”

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