About this Quote

This quote by Lin Yutang speaks with the idea of exploration and discovery. It recommends that an excellent traveller is someone who is open to brand-new experiences and wants to take threats. They do not have a specific destination in mind, however rather are open to wherever the journey might take them. A perfect visitor, on the other hand, is somebody who is not bound by the past. They do not let their past experiences determine their existing journey, however rather are open to whatever brand-new experiences come their way. This quote encourages us to be open up to new experiences and to take dangers. It suggests that the best way to explore the world is to be open to whatever comes our method and to not be bound by our past. By doing this, we can discover new locations and experiences that we may have never ever understood existed.
