Travel Quote Tuesday | Mary Ritter Beard

This quote from Mary Ritter Beard – a American historian, archivist, educationalist and suffragette activist – continues a theme I have visited in a number of my recent travel quotes, the personal growth and change that travel can bring. Seeing the sights – both those of natural beauty and manmade marvels – is a fantastic but fleeting experience but the memories and changes in one’s thinking can last forever.

    I know just what you mean. That emotional change after visiting somewhere, especially somewhere you really fall in love with.

    This is a wonderful quote. Travel is definitely more than just seeing sites. Being more mindful helps us fully experience a place and the whole travel experience.

    Yes, I think we have so much to learn, not just about our destinations but about ourselves and our own societies but comparison.

    I think Mary Ritter Beard is right. Travel certainly changes your perspective in life permanently. If more people travelled the world would be a better place.

    Yes I think that’s true. Some people can’t see beyond their own little neighbourhoods. Makes them very insular.
