Hi Im Arnold... i love to travel...im a traveller not a tourist because i believe that tourists exchange money for pre-packaged experiences. They consume experiences and move on without engaging with the local culture. Travelers are there to see things, not buy them. Travelers tend to be more involved. They may stay with locals, hang out with locals, try to learn the language, or just plain move slowly enough to really live and be where they are. Sometimes I play "tourist" but that doesn't mean I see myself as one. and as i travel i learn a lot about myself, about life, about what i need to be happy. It also really highlights just how different home is from everywhere else, especially when i start to get a large sample size to compare it to. For some, this can mean going home with a heightened perspective. For others, it may mean never going home. For everyone though, long-term travel will change your life.
