traveling...

The following is part of Paulo Coelho's Like the Flowing Rivers:

TRAVELLING DIFFERENTLY
Avoid museums . If you are in a foreign city, isn't it far more interesting to go in search of the present thatn the past?

Hang-out in bars. Not in discos, but in places where ordinary people go.

Be open. Go out into the street, choose the person you want to talk to, 'til you found yourself an excellent companion.

Try to travel alone or with your spouse. Traveling with a group is a way of being in a foreign country while speaking your mother tongue, doing whatever the leader of the flock tells your to do.

Don't compare. Don't compare anything - prices, standards of hygiene, quality of life, means of transport, nothing!

Understand that everyone understands you . Even if you don't speak the language, don't be afraid. Some people think that if they travel alone, they will set off down the street and lost for ever.

Don't buy too much .
Don't try to see the world in a month . It is far better to stay in the city for 4 or 5 days than to visit 5 cities in a week.

A journey is an adventure . ... wander the streets, explore alleyways, experience the freedom of looking for something - quite what you don't know, but which,if your find it, will, you can be sure, change your life.

Enjoy your trips!
