My favorite travel-related quote is:

“You can't have a narrow mind and a thick passport.” – Pauline Frommer

Narrow minds make me sad. And when we visit other places and meet "other" people, it becomes so hard for us to hide behind generalizations and stereotypes.

Once, at the height of my business travels, I had to send in my passport to get extra pages sewn in. That was awesome.

They won't do that anymore, but really, with every foreign entry stamp you receive, your passport gets "thicker" and your perspective gets wider.

I have made friends all around the world and want the same for you!
