You have given me the world. I, in turn, give a little of what I have gained to all others I meet. I have been truly lucky to be able to travel so much and meet so many new and interesting people. Although most of what I have described is what I ve seen, it s what I have learned about each culture and its people that is the most important and enriching. This journey also taught me about myself, in terms of how I respond to new challenges and uncommon situations, and I think that anything that can give me such clearly positive feelings is a truly worthwhile experience.
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness.
Mark Twain Mark Twain s words could not be more true. Traveling it seems is the best cure for these diseases for it is most often people who have done little or no traveling who do not venture outside the norm, outside their country or even outside the small place they have established as home. I have to admit, at first I was very frightened. Along these lines is another elemental concept. That is to find peace where you are.
