Dear Steemit friends and followers,
With the weekend being over soon and the new week ahead of us, let me take this moment to share one of my favorite travel quotes with you.
Source: quotefancy.com, author: Aldous Huxley, famous English writer, novelist and philosopher
"To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries."
What is your opinion on this interesting quote, my fellow Steemians? Has traveling made you break a prejudice or debunk a misconception about any country or culture? Let me know in the comments below, I am looking forward to your stories :)
Have a great start to the new week and Steem on!
Please feel free to check out some of my other recent posts.

Wow what an amazing quotation about travel..Loved the quotation it is really motivating and very helpful to all travelers.. Yes i am a person who like to discover the world as world is so beautiful and my passion is photography too..And yes we travel different country some places of that country may be lack from others but there also many places where they are beautiful than others so we cannot let any country down as in their way they are beautiful..And earth was one we are the people who made this country and as we say world is beautiful so every country are beautiful..Every place in this world is beautiful in their way we just have to look it that way then we can most beautiful places in this world..Thanks for sharing this amazing quotation with us..@czechglobalhosts
very true... we always had made some of the mentality about the particular place and we believe what we want to believe, until we never been there or never experienced the particular place never will discover what we was missing ... as until we put tea bag in hot water we will not know it's taste 😉😉😉 great quote
@czechglobalhosts
You are absolutely right,
We know people by interacting with them, know their culture,
Watching their country, their food, their religion, Their likes dislikes.
Travel is a good way to do that,
I must say you are doing a great job @czechglobalhosts.
I have a question for you mate,
can I ask it?
I love travelling! Yes, it is true that sometimes we have negative thoughts about people from other country as we sometimes believe what we hear and see from television and even criticize their culture and lifestyle but as we go there and meet them personally, we realize that we are wrong especially when we try to associate with people how friendly they are, how their culture is full of wonderful stories of the past, how tasty is their food! And we started to love them! So never judge other people from other place if we haven't meet them yet and never been there.
The quote you published today is very interesting, I like it a lot. Generally people repeat what they say of a place without knowing it, so much that they judge and when they know it they are surprised and each one's experience is unique, each one sees the world in his own way. I never thought I was going to work in Tourism and for me it has been a blessing, knowing places and cultures gives you an incalculable wealth but internally. I also love photography, what I regret is not having a professional camera, but I still enjoy it. Thank you for sharing your experiences and photographs, they are beautiful. Successes in this new week.
International politics and certain policies of media has created a mess among different countries inhabitants. But the fact is every country belongs to nature and nature is the first name of beauty. It is the duty of us to travel around the globe and explore it to know more and more about it. I am cent per cent agreed to the above quotation of Huxley. Everyone has his own perception about any region so, first thing is to visit that place to explore it fully ;)
For example in summer vacations i visited the river side of my town with my friends when we were returning, everyone had his own memories about that place ;)
I am really thankful to you Tomas that you brought some positive energy through this wonderful quote <3
You can't really know what's going on in a country unless you've been there. You need to see and hear for yourself first the things you want to discover before fully trusting the bias media on what they're saying on their shitty news.
I love travel ..Thanks dear sharing the motivational post..
everyone born and raised dinegaranya
they had a culture and direction of view of different
allowed by our country is prohibited by other countries
if we find everyone wrong about another country, other countries find us wrong
do not be mistaken if the culture and rules are different
Thank you friend
Well said..yes thats true.,to travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other country”everyone had a different opinion about other country...when we travel different country then we experience about their country and culture.
A very true quato, i can relate this soo much cause i am from a developing country so everyone thinks that we lack and everything and backward in technology but that’s not the case cause we are forward in many things and especially in hospitality.i think the same goes for every country and we should visit to see for ourself. Thanks for sharing.

@imranpase
Your post always valuable..... It admits of no doubt....
Amazing, verry nice.
Good post and good luck
for me the journey is a fun thing, every trip has a story and experience that is hard to forget. we can not prejudice that is not good against other cultures because we do not know about the truth. every culture should respect and respect each other.
a very amazing trip. this is very good news for us. do you allow me to capture this news in our language
the journey is not about prejudice against others but seeking pleasure for ourselves where that can make us happy is our main goal.
Appreciable (Y) that you accept Diversity that is the biggest thing to accpet :)
NICE
I really wish that someday I could travel around the world, That's my dream
I can tell you about Turkey, I am living here in Istanbul from 2 years ago, Istanbul is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, You should visit one day!
The people here so Nice.

Thank you for your initiative!
the journey is a beautiful, every place visited there we can learn and know about the place without having to hear news from others. because other people do not necessarily talk about the real thing, that's life.
To travel is to live and discover
There is nothing better than visiting a country to know it culture for the way it is without any bias.
extraordinary & elated!
In my country it is always said by the citizens of my country who live in Europe that generally European people are cold and distant.. When I was in Europe I interacted many European people and I saw that it is not what they said.. I talked to them, I saw many assists and friendship from them.. So I changed my opinion.
god make all world bedautifull , there are many countries are beautifull but more are famuse by many things . we cant say about any place is not beautifull..
@czechglobalhosts Be in another country is another new experience because u need to learn their own culture
absolutely right.
Good Quote ,we learn about others countries with travel
Yeah exactly, because what we hear depends upon from which person we are hearing those words about any country and that would be his solitary perspective. Being there in any other country and experiencing their culture, places, people, the real picture came to us.
I've been at three other countries (excluding my home country) and I quite found so many things opposite to just other people used to say, few were good which I heard bad and vice versa.
I totaly agree with this quote. Traveling the world has made me realise there are good people everywhere in every country and every culture! Turn of your tv and go explore for yourself ☺ dont belive the hype.
Many people have false ideas about other places. We have to take or listen what others say about that place. And we nees to find the truth ourselves. You don’t know a place and the lifestyle or culture of the place, it's beauty till you experience it, so we should go and enjoy it to the fullest🙂The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.
People are creatures that judge quite easy, mainly based on rumours that influence their emotions. Thus, they (mostly) say something without knowing the real facts.
So you might have heard something like: "Hey, don't go to [NAME PLACE]... No I haven't been there, but [EXPLANATION BASED ON RUMOUR]."
I personally trust my guts, which will tell if it is a good idea or not to travel to a certain place.
