Quote of the day: Once a year, go someplace you have never been before

Dear Steemit friends and followers,

With the weekend being over soon and the new week ahead of us, let me take this moment to share one of my favorite travel quotes with you.

Once-A-Year.jpg
Source: Earth Trekkers, author: Dalai Lama


"Once a year, go someplace you have never been before."


I think most of you would agree that Dalai Lama was right on this one – travelling to foreign places, seeing new cultures and meeting new people is incredibly enriching.

So rather than discussing the meaning of the quote, I have two questions for you:

  1. What new places did you visit last year?
  2. What are your travel plans for this year?

I am looking forward to reading your comments below :)

Have a great start to the new week and Steem on!

nice post thanks for inspiration post.😊

Haven't been able to go on vacation last year cause money was tight 😥
I would love to go for a roadtrip in Australia one day!
For this year I'm hoping to visit New York City somewhere in september.
What about you @czechglobalhosts ?!

I am sure you will be able to make it this year! I am planning a cruise alongside Indian and Arabian coast sometimes in March and then visiting a friend in Colombia later on in the year. Tomas

Last year I had the opportunity to travel to Tanzania and spend a month living in various Maasai villages. They are some of the most wonderful and welcoming people I have ever met in my life. It was truly an unforgettable and life changing experience.

I am planning on traveling to Haiti this year with my sister, @changenation, and her husband as they adopt one or two children from there. I will be traveling with them to make a documentary of the whole journey. We are really looking forward to that adventure.

Here is a picture I took during one of the Maasai celebrations over the past summer:

Dalai Lama had a sound point in saying such wonderful quote. Travel has very amazing learning for the traveler. One can learn a lot from different places and the cultures of those amazing places.

Last year I visited Skardu valley, Nothern Areas of my country Pakistan. It's in Karakoram mountain range where World's 2nd largest mountain peak K-2 is towering to the sky. This year I will try to visit Swat that is called Switzerland of Asia.

Thank you so much for amazing blogs @czechglobalhosts.

Some very interesting places on your list! Sounds tempting:).... Tomas

Very inspiring quote, thanks for sharing! :D

I visited Gran Canaria, Benidorm and travelled inside the Uk last year and this years plans are, Amsterdam & Ireland.

Also does anyone have any suggestions of somewhere warm either in March or September? Thanks in advance :)

Sounds great! Well, depends on what you are looking for... if you are up for beaches then Caribbean is unbeatable! Also Asia is great!

Thanks a lot! I was looking into the Caribbean :D

My visit to Wales last year was an eye opener.. The most appreciated was their lifestyle and it affected me positively... Hopefully, I would be at Australia this year... NICE POST

Nice plans, I love it! I hope you can make that happen. Tomas

I believe it will happen.. I would really love it.

if only I had money to travel where I want to go the most :')
I've been visiting some local places in my country, Croatia.
I don't have a plan to visit any place, but surely I will, I just don't have a plan which one..

Visiting local places is a great start. It is actually a shame many people don't even know their own country. Tomas

yes, that's exactly! :D

well i also agree and he was right,,, i travled last time some days ago to my parents hometown pak kaghan naran valley and my plan to next year also to my parent home town pak but next travel there to china border with my all family
bcz i was not born in USA there for we have not any travel here reason my family member not here with me ...only me and my husband and my daughter and i am muslim there for i cannot travel alone

Great to hear you have some sound travel plans! I hope it all works out for you. Tomas

The new place I visited last year was at PT.Perta Arun Gas in my area of ​​Aceh-Indonesia, and this year after graduating college I will vacation to Sabang Island with the best sea in my area, very pleasant and with steemit I can realize my dream that. Thank you for your support, have a nice day Thomas.

I am very happy to hear you do have some plans! Traveling broadens your horizons and brings whole sort of new opportunities! Good luck my friend!

Thank you very much Tomas.

Well Tomas, before the start of new year 2017 i made resolutions for the year in which i included this very quote and planned to visit some places with my family, some places with friends and some places alone.
So i visited two spots last year;
1- Nathiagali, Murree (Pakistan)

2- Baba Shadi Shaheed (AJK)

Great! I am very happy to hear you have made it to some amazing places on earth! I am sure more is coming. Tomas

In 2017 i didn't travell, but in 2016 i went to Machu Picchu and I really learnt a lot of that travell. In 2018 i would like to go to Europe or Asia if I can.

Sounds like a plan! Some amazing places on your list, I hope it will come to fruition at some point. Tomas

Went to Sedona, Arizona this year. It was one of the most amazing places I've ever seen.

sedona-2112262_1280.jpg

The landscape was breath-taking, the rocks glowed with life, and the feeling there was almost indescribable. It was happy, as if the land itself had rolled out a welcome mat to greet visitors.

Oh, I absolutely love Sedona! Heaven on Earth!

It really is! I loved it so much, I am now planning on moving there within the next year. I'll keep you updated...

During last year, I was blessed to visit Makkah and Madina in Saudi Arabia where I found soul peace. During this year, I'm expecting to travel to Bahrain where I'll explore historical places.
Another thing I want to add here, going to a new place instead of old one has another benefit too. Unlike already visited places, new place keep our attention and we finally get rid of social media like facebook and instagram for atleast some time.

You are right about that one! Glad to hear you were able to visit some great places. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Tomas

Thanks a lot dear
I'm hoping and wishing same for you

I wish i could go to Japan 😁

Maket it a plan and I am sure it will happen one day!

Yeah.. honestly i'm saving money now.. litle by litle... Thx for the post.. that's really cool

Hello Tomas, you are offering beutiful tips for visiting places in the Czech Republic and I am sure you inspire lots of people.
To your questions: Last year I visited with my son Tropical Island in Germany during spring vacancy, the stay there was perfect. This year I am not sure I visit a new place abroad, but it seems that my children go to Tai Pei with folk ensemble.
Have a nice day, wishing you many beutiful travel experiences.

I am glad you were able to visit some amazing places on Earth and hope more will be coming!

Thanks @czechglobalhosts for sharing the quote. It is inspire us. All of us should follow it. But it is true I never go abroad till now. I wish I could go.

Excellent advice... Traveling is one of my favorite hobbies, it fills you with joy and feeds the soul. Getting out of the routine and knowing different places are experiences that will always be present in our mind, unlike the material things that are often lost.

thanks for update wonderful post and ask quotes, its very nice, i like inspiration quotes @czechglobalhosts

I’ve just started my journey after I got married. Have been exploring all sorts of new places and cities since then. We take a trip every 2-3 months but mine are no so unusual places as of now since it was too much of an unexplored territory for me. But I so enjoy going to new plances. Latest, i’ve been to Old Manali and Ramgarh. Next we are planning for Bhutan, have heard so much about the beauty there. Will keep taking tips from your post and will try and experience places I haven’t been to.

At least one time people can visit every foreign countries these are very beautiful and amazing

I agree u @czechglobalhosts , I visited many places in my country just for seeing new peoples culture and their life ..

u have a sort discription abaout dalai lama.and its really good.iwish i would go there once at all.i ans your question last year i visited cox's bazar which is in bangladesh.and its the biggest sea beach.and next year i wish i visited tajmohal in india.thank for asking.!

For me I plan to travel to somewhere exciting. Can't confirm the place yet until I take the trip. Good to travel to somewhere exciting as it's refreshing to the mind and soul

Can't agree more ! Yes we just live once , should really check out more countries in our life

The new places I visited last year were
the Postojna Cave & Bled island & marshes and lakes on the Pohorje (all 3 of them are in my country Slovenia, but it was the last year I visited them for the first time) and the Zoo in Zagreb & the city of Krk on the island of Krk (Croatia).

This year I will maybe travel to Greece, but I am not sure yet. But whatever it is, it will be something new, some place I've never been before. Because I like to explore new places, things, ... :) I will also continue to research my country of Slovenia as well, there is always something new to find.

One of my favorite quotes 😊
