Wise Words for April: Thoughts on Travel and Prejudice

I’ve been thinking a lot about travel recently—because I like to do it, because I’m not doing it now, and because I will be doing it soon and am very behind in my planning!

As such, the theme for Wise Words for April will be just that: travel.

I’ll start this week by posting my thoughts about this quote by Mark Twain:

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.”

(from The Innocents Abroad)

It’s a powerful statement, isn’t it?  I’m looking forward to writing about it. I’d love to read your thoughts on it, too. If you’d like to weigh in, you can link up here on Wednesday (details on the Wise Words discussion here).
