“I’ve very rarely, maybe never, met a traveler who’s closed-minded.
If you meet someone who travels the world, it is much more difficult to have a provincial, hateful, small view of the world and to think that the truth is this tiny little nugget that you happen to have found in your small town.
If you’ve seen the world, if you have met people from all over who have different walks of life and you engage with them and you share wine with them or a coffee, and you hear their story, it is much more difficult to be bigoted, angry, and fearful. And so that’s why I’m such an advocate of travel; if you can, just go.”
