A Perfect Travel

A tourist cannot exist without a traveler and a traveler cannot exist without a tourist because it is a complementary issue. Usually a person starts being a tourist and then change into a traveler. Sometimes is a growth divided by stages. The truth is that the traveler gets its name because the tourists exist and they are not doing both internal and external journeys while traveling. Traveling has and will always be an important aspect of any given society. The explorers travel to experience new fronts in term of geographical regions, and the tourists, to look for new markets and also to exploit resources. Tourism as monetary activity is characterized by high levels of flexibility. The meaning of travel is to go from one place to another, as on a trip; journey. Tourists travel but they are not travelers. This interrelation expands in all the world and we can participate in it, from a place so vast like India to a little island like Puerto Rico.

I never had the chance to make a spiritual journey but after this reading Holy Cow I am considering it. I think it is fascinating how in countries in which one does not have control of once life faith is stronger than countries that do. It is fitting that a self-avowed atheist does this spiritual journey because she can look at religion with objectivity minus any preconceived notion that a person of faith usually shows. Experiences that make us became travelers.  I do not blame tourist for their thinking because I know that I’ve been a tourist too. But I hope that in the upcoming trips I may have, I will become a traveler, and I will have the privileged of being part and enjoy what really is important; and I think it is knowing and bonding with people different from ourselves without discriminating. That would be a perfect travel for me.
