Traveler or Tourist: Which Are You?

'The traveler was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes 'sight-seeing'.' - Daniel J. Boorstin

Traveler or a tourist? Active or passive? Which are you? How you approach travel–and what you expect–make all the difference. Daniel J. Boorstin says it best:

'The traveler was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes 'sight-seeing'.' - Daniel J. Boorstin — ‘The traveler was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience.
