Travel or Tour?

“The traveler sees what he sees. The tourist sees what he has come to see.”
― G.K. Chesterton

There is a distinction between travelers and tourists. I’ve never wanted to be a tourist. Don’t get me wrong, I do like to see things when I travel.

I'm an engineer, a veteran, and an avid traveler. I agree with Robert Louis Stevenson - "I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move."
