Traveler or tourist?




"The traveler was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes "sight-seeing."" Daniel J. Boorstin

"If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay home." James Michener

"The traveler sees what he sees. The tourist sees what he has come to see." G.K. Chesterton

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -- I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” Robert Frost
