Tourist vs. Traveler (A room with a view)

 Have you gone around places and seen people that look like these? You immediately say TOURIST! Those are the kind of people that are amazed by every little detail that they encounter in a new place or city. They're the kind of people that take a vacation and want to be relaxed and carefree . As The Free Dictionary defines it "a tourist is a person who travels for pleasure, usually sightseeing and staying in hotels".

      Now if you see a people that's normally like this, you would say businessman but is more like a TRAVELER. The type of people that are always traveling because of work, but not the pilot kind, these people are on a plane due to meetings and affairs in other countries. There could also be another kind, the wandering type. It's the the one that's more like a tourist with a hint of traveler because they're always on a plane with the purpose of visiting many places but they don't stay for long.

    A Room with a View was a movie produced in 1985 by James Ivory. It explains the life of Lucy Honeychurch and how she encounters love when going on a visit to Italy. This movie was a success that still leaves its mark around the glove.

         Lucy Honeychurch was a TOURIST that loved to meet new places and that's one of the reasons that she went to Italy.It was common for a young girl that was entering society in those times to visit Italy and learn the ways of the world. Once she got there she found that the city was marvelous and also how the Italians live. That's why in a part of the movie she says when eating with the people at the pension "Don't you guys agree that people that visit Italy should have a Room with a View? " and when the movie ends the audience could see her smirk when other girl says the same think. Because she lived the experience and she became a tourist with benefits (she found her love). 

      If she would have been only a TRAVELER she may only have seen the buildings, the streets and how the people interact in the streets but not the essence of the people like she did. She could have said that she had been to Italy because that's the reality but she wouldn't have  experienced the magic itself.

    That's the difference between a tourist and a traveler, you could be to a place because you touched its ground like a traveler but you didn't experience its magic and radiance like a tourists does.
