Here’s an inspiring travel thought for this quiet Tuesday afternoon:
South Florida Sun-Sentinel travel editor Thomas Swick on the importance of people.
Can interaction with locals be purchased through financial transactions when we travel?
Swick thinks not: “As every backpacker knows, the best encounters happen by chance… when the only currency is curiosity.”
*Another reason why Wikipedia rocks: it finally told me the origins of an expression I’ve been using for years.
