You can follow his every narcissistic word on Facebook or Twitter. Well written and very appropriate for our generation. It is hard to believe that there would be so many people my own age and younger who are closed minded and blind to truth.
Amazing and sad at the same time. Baby steps. From my point of view — puts R. Steves in the shade. I agree!
It helps sometimes when people go abroad for a semester during undergrad, but not everyone has the opportunity to do so and even if they do it is no guarantee that they will go outside of the comfort of being around their classmates to learn more about the culture of a place. Oh well. Ha, I completely loved this! Plus, the idea of traveling with friends is near and dear to my heart at the moment. No surer way to find out whether you like someone or hate them? Preach on, brother, preach on. Thailand and Mexico seem to bring out the most mind-numbingly simplistic viewpoints.
Thailand is viewed mainly as filled with child sex slavery and pedophiles and when you set foot in Mexico a member of the Cartel has already been assigned to kill you. The most sever stereotyping is often from people who have never visited.
I feel the same way. Very inspiring article that connects dearly to one of my favourite authors. I tried searching a quote of Mark Twain in regard to travelling with friends, but to no avail thus i found this web.
It goes something like this: if want to know true friends, travel with them. Do have that quote in specific? Thank you. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime. According to Twain, travel is the antidote for prejudice. This quote follows a similar train of thought as the previous quote: travel helps people learn about and appreciate other peoples and cultures.

Love is right. I pray, right now, that we're moving into a kinder time when prejudice is overcome by understanding; when narrow-mindedness, and narrow-minded bigotry is overwhelmed by open-hearted empathy; when the pain of judgmentalism is replaced by the purity of love. Popular prejudice is entrenched.
Non-essentials are over-emphasized.
