For those about to travel… |
| Travel lightly |
 |
You are not traveling for people to see you |
| Travel expectantly |
| |
Every place you visit is like a surprise package to be
opened;
untie the strings with an expectation of high
adventure |
| Travel humbly |
| |
Visit people and places with reverence and respect for
their traditions and way of life |
| Travel with an open mind |
| |
Leave your prejudices at home |
| Travel with curiosity |
| |
It is not how far you go, but how deeply you go that
mines the gold of experience |
| -Old Spanish Proverb, Author Unknown |
