A friend of Brenda’s and mine, Ed Reynolds, is currently traveling in the Middle East. He found this oath displayed in a hotel he visited. It seems quite appropriate for anywhere any of us might travel. Thank you Ed.
Thankfully I have found the opportunity to travel and visit other countries and considering the fact that everyone should play his or her role in achieving peace and friendship in the world, I undertake to travel:
Sincerely, and consider others opinion open-mindedly,
Protect environment and natural resources during my journey,
Respect all cultures and customs of people whom I come across,
Befriend whom I meet during the journey,
Protect practically and theoretically all agencies, organizations or people having other opinions and viewpoints.
Encourage others to travel throughout the world peacefully.
