Greetings Thoughtful Travelers!  Welcome to today’s thought for August 4th!

It’s by Seneca the Younger, the Roman philosopher and tutor to Emperor Nero.  Seneca lived from 4 BC to 65 AD. 

“He who is everywhere is nowhere.” 

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

“There are many admonitions about traveling too fast.  It’s part of our restless nature and innate curiosity to want to be everywhere at the same time. On my first trip to Europe, armed with a new passport and 3-month Eurailpass, I wanted to visit every country on the first day.  The problem is everything becomes a blur, and in your excitement to have as many incredible experiences as soon as possible, you never get to know any place very well. You may even forget what country you’re in. Then you’ll know how the tour members felt in the iconic movie ‘If It’s Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium!”  

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!
