Travel Brings The World Together One Friend At A Time

in travel •  7 years ago 

Relaxing On Deck With A Friend On The Inside Passage

Travel brings the world together one friend at a time. You are in a strange country, you see a new face and then someone smiles. The smile is the universal calling card, no words are needed. You sit down in an empty chair on the deck of a ship, and suddenly you begin to visit with the person sitting in the next chair. You are from America and the other person is from Canada.  A friendship is kindled and it has just crossed over the border. 

Horseback Riding On The Beach

You gather at the stable as strangers. Your only common thread is that you all want to start the day with a brisk ride on the beach. As the wind blows your hair, stories are told and friendships are made. The day was started with the bonding of new friends.  One friend traveled from New York, and another from Chicago. Old prejudices begin to melt away and a friendship begins. It all started on a morning ride at the beach. 

Roll Out The Dune Buggies And Let The Adventure Begin

They come roaring to life, and the day begins on the Oregon Coast. You spend the morning together chasing up tall sand dunes with strangers. One new friend is a tourist from Victoria, British Columbia, another is out to discover America. He is from Brazil. With a smile and a handshake the day begins. Living adventure with new friends is fun and amazing. 

Meeting New Friends For Lunch In Madaba, Jordan

Having a simple lunch has always been a great way to deepen new friendships. Who would know when the day began that strangers from Jordan would meet up with strangers from America. Stories are shared, and the bonds of friendship are made over a meal.  Two cultures bond in a common friendship. 

Why Not Gather On The Beach For The Chef's Feast In The Philippines ?

The Filipino people are fun loving and extremely friendly. Why not gather on the beach and make new friends at a Chef's Feast? It is always easy to make friendships over food. Fun and laughter is contagious and soon you forget that you just met. 

The Smile Is Life's Calling Card

"Life is so much better when you smile." It is contagious, and who knows who will just begin to visit and where they may have come from.  As you travel the world, start each adventure with a simple smile and watch the doors open for other adventures and private gatherings. Friendships begin in the strangest places.

 Traditional Sweet Bedouin Tea In The Deserts Of Jordan

Whether it is tea, coffee, or a coke, life is often shared over a common beverage. Don't sell any people short, or fail to try any native dish, no matter how different. Smile big, and smile often, discover that the world is full of wonderful people. Customs and traditions are different, if you are not sure what to do, simply wait and follow your host. The art of International Friendship is to realize that customs are not right or wrong, just different. So get out and discover the world.  Make friends, learn a few words in a different language, and enjoy the adventure of travel. So close the books, get out of the chair, and book an adventure today. Today is the first day of the rest of your life!

Wow, I finally stumbled on a high-profile travel account. From what I have observed here, only people interested in cryprocurrencies and other similar stuff get high scores but now I can see that authors writing about traveling can also get some attention here. Thank you! Following you :) greetings from a Czech digital nomad currently in Mexico :)

Welcome to steemit @phortun. Thank you for reading.

I read your first paragraph and I sat here for a couple of minutes because it instantly brought up memories of my travels with friends. Love the way you write, short but deep and entices you to keep going. Thanks for the content and will be reading more!

That's great @peterkkim96 and we hope to inspire you and others. Thank you for reading.

This text is wonderful . This remember me of much I miss to travel and how happy I am for you to be able to discover such places and life such moments !
I think you were at Steemfest, right ? Now, I am sad that we had not the chance to discuss ... about travelling ! You seems to have so many stories ! Thanks again for this beautiful text. When we travel... The world in friendly. The world is open, bright, smiling...
The world is much better when you travel... Because we are more open to the world. People smile as you said and we take the smile.... What would be our reaction when someone smile at us in our own city ? Sometimes we are scare.... Thanks for sharing this !

Thank you @roxane.

Thank you @evernoticethat.

Looks like so much fun! How was the camel-riding?!

I met the funniest and loveliest people over a drink in different countries or on my way to an other destination! It is fascinating, even if both of you do not speak the same language you can communicate with one antoher if you really want to understand each other :D I think thats great!

Just seeing this pictures make me wanna go exploring. With which camera do you use in taking those pictures @exploretraveler? They are so beautiful.
I can perceive that you really enjoyed yourself.
Traveling is a creative thing.
Nice to meet you sir.

I will definitely resteem this post. This past weekend I was saying exactly what you are mentioning, the fact that cruise ship passengers are some of the friendliest people you will ever meet. I believe the same it true for bloggers because we have a passion for what we do and we love the good people that make up our society. Best wishes to all steemit readers for a lifetime of discovery and exciting travels. https://steemfollower.com/?r=6987

Great post my friend. Traveling is the best way to meet new people and make some friends. Love it!

a very nice place my friend, I like,
friends have long not go into my post, try friends visit to my post, maybe there are friends who like.

Travel is a good initiative to discover the unknown and the truest smile of a passport

Thank you for reading @drmor.

You are absolutely right! Many people see money as THE thing that will make you happy and love living life. However, money is only a tool that will help you reach happiness. What will truly make you love your life are all the relationships in which you invest your time in.

Many people have lots of money, but no one to love and to talk to. Therefore, they will live their life alone in their mansion and be really unsatisfied with their lives. I think the best way to reach happiness is by travelling and learning all the different point of views and knowledge other people have to share.

Really enjoyed reading this post :D.

Would be greatly appreciated if you could provide any kind of feedback on my blogs, whenever you get a chance. It will encourage me to keep doing better and help me on my journey. Thanks!

This is exactly why I love traveling! It's great to get to know people, talk to them and make friends all over the world. We were in Jordan just last month and made some friends over Bedouin teain the desert.
In most countries it's enough if you smile and learn sime basic words in their language and people will be friendly with you.

Love this post, guys! I left my country four years ago and I keep making friendship with strangers all the time!!! Have you guys been to Australia? Greetings from a traveller living in the Gold Coast!

Indeed, the smile is life's calling card. Felt nostalgic with my travel experience while reading your post. :)

So true. A Friend is just a smile away!
