Tuesday, June 01, 2010Are you a Traveler or an Explorer?by Rumit Mehta, Founder of Immersion JourneysI recently came across a wonderful quote by British author Bill Bryson that summed up the difference between travel and a GOOD travel experience: “I can't think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything.”

My Immersion Journeys staff and I have shared this quote to all our travelers, hoping that their interpretation of travel aligns with what we strive for.  Beyond fond memories, travel should ensure a unique experience and foster global citizenship, but above all, travel should enable everyone to be an “explorer” and not merely a tourist.
