Wow what an amazing quotation about travel..Loved the quotation it is really motivating and very helpful to all travelers.. Yes i am a person who like to discover the world as world is so beautiful and my passion is photography too..And yes we travel different country some places of that country may be lack from others but there also many places where they are beautiful than others so we cannot let any country down as in their way they are beautiful..And earth was one we are the people who made this country and as we say world is beautiful so every country are beautiful..Every place in this world is beautiful in their way we just have to look it that way then we can most beautiful places in this world..Thanks for sharing this amazing quotation with us..@czechglobalhosts

very true... we always had made some of the mentality about the particular place and we believe what we want to believe, until we never been there or never experienced the particular place never will discover what we was missing ... as until we put tea bag in hot water we will not know it's taste 😉😉😉 great quote

You are absolutely right,
We know people by interacting with them, know their culture,
Watching their country, their food, their religion, Their likes dislikes.
Travel is a good way to do that,
I must say you are doing a great job @czechglobalhosts.
I have a question for you mate,
can I ask it?

I love travelling! Yes, it is true that sometimes we have negative thoughts about people from other country as we sometimes believe what we hear and see from television and even criticize their culture and lifestyle but as we go there and meet them personally, we realize that we are wrong especially when we try to associate with people how friendly they are, how their culture is full of wonderful stories of the past, how tasty is their food! And we started to love them! So never judge other people from other place if we haven't meet them yet and never been there.

The quote you published today is very interesting, I like it a lot. Generally people repeat what they say of a place without knowing it, so much that they judge and when they know it they are surprised and each one's experience is unique, each one sees the world in his own way. I never thought I was going to work in Tourism and for me it has been a blessing, knowing places and cultures gives you an incalculable wealth but internally. I also love photography, what I regret is not having a professional camera, but I still enjoy it. Thank you for sharing your experiences and photographs, they are beautiful. Successes in this new week.

International politics and certain policies of media has created a mess among different countries inhabitants. But the fact is every country belongs to nature and nature is the first name of beauty. It is the duty of us to travel around the globe and explore it to know more and more about it. I am cent per cent agreed to the above quotation of Huxley. Everyone has his own perception about any region so, first thing is to visit that place to explore it fully ;)

For example in summer vacations i visited the river side of my town with my friends when we were returning, everyone had his own memories about that place ;)

I am really thankful to you Tomas that you brought some positive energy through this wonderful quote <3

You can't really know what's going on in a country unless you've been there. You need to see and hear for yourself first the things you want to discover before fully trusting the bias media on what they're saying on their shitty news.

I love travel ..Thanks dear sharing the motivational post..

everyone born and raised dinegaranya
they had a culture and direction of view of different
allowed by our country is prohibited by other countries
if we find everyone wrong about another country, other countries find us wrong
do not be mistaken if the culture and rules are different
Thank you friend

Well said..yes thats true.,to travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other country”everyone had a different opinion about other country...when we travel different country then we experience about their country and culture.
