Before You Depart

Credo of the Peaceful Traveler

I am grateful for the opportunity to travel and experience the world,
And, because peace begins with the individual,
I affirm my personal responsibility and commitment to:

Journey with an open mind and gentle heart
Accept with grace and gratitude the diversity I encounter
Revere and protect the natural environment which sustains all life
Appreciate all cultures I discover
Respect and thank my hosts for their welcome
Offer my hand in friendship to everyone I meet and......
Encourage others to travel the world in peace.
