Distinctions

What is the difference between a tourist and a traveler?

A tourist spends a week. A traveler goes weeks or longer.

Tourists stay in hotels. Travelers try out the hostel.

Tourists roll their luggage. Travelers backpack.

A tourist hits the highlights. A traveler gets off the beaten path.

A tourist gets a translator. A traveler refers to her pocket guide.

Tourists look for the golden arches. Travelers try the gallo pinto.

Which do you want to be?
