BE A THOUGHTFUL TRAVELLER
- Travel in a spirit of humility and with genuine desire to meet and talk with local people.
- Be aware of the feelings of the local people; prevent what might be offensive behavior.
- Cultivate the habit of listening and observing rather than merely hearing and seeing or knowing all answers.
- Realize that other people may have concepts of time and have thought patterns which are different than yours.
- Instead of seeing the exotic, discover the richness of another culture and way of life.
- Get acquainted with local customs; respect them.
- Remember that you are only one among many visitors; do not expect special privileges.
- When shopping through bargaining, remember that the poorest merchant will give up profit rather than give up his/her personal dignity.
- Spend time each day reflecting on your experiences in order to deepen you understanding. What enriches you may be robbing others.
- Make no promise to local people or new friends that you cannot implement.

Take time to take in your surroundings and literally live in the moment. Remember, often times, the journey is as important as the destination! Breathe. Be adventurous. Keep an open mind and immerse yourself in your experience. Don’t expect what’s at home - you don’t need to vacation for that.
