Quote by Gregory Maguire

The overdressed traveler betrays more interest in being seen than in seeing, while the true traveler knows that the novel world about her serves as the most appropriate accessory.

The overdressed traveler betrays more interest in being seen

Summary

This quote suggests that an individual who is overly concerned about their appearance while traveling is more focused on impressing others rather than truly immersing themselves in the experience. On the other hand, a true traveler understands that the beauty and uniqueness of the new destination they are exploring is the most valuable and appropriate "accessory" they can have. The quote emphasizes the idea that genuine travelers prioritize the discovery and appreciation of the world around them rather than superficial aspects such as their attire.
