Hello Again Thoughtful Travelers!  Welcome to today’s thought for January 26, 2016. 

It’s by an unknown traveler, so you can take credit for it yourself, if you’d like!

 “You’ll learn more about a road by traveling it, than by consulting all the maps in the world.”

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

“This is another of those quotes that tells us to get off our duff and go see the world if we really want to be knowledgeable about it.  Secondhand accounts have value, but nothing beats visiting a destination yourself.  Creating your own experiences makes the most meaningful and longest-lasting impression.  In addition to seeing the physical aspects of a destination, you’ll have the opportunity to experience its sense of place and its sense of spirit.  Discover what makes it special to you.  Then, you’ll never forget it.”

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!
