Usage of protected instead of private function

private function formatTimezone(Carbon $date) : string

I'm wondering, if we can use protected instead of private function then people can easily extends the Timezone and customize to their need.

Also, Can we extract the obtaining of the time zone in another class which will be responsible for assigning the time zone to the user (the user could be passed in the constructor and if not then we will use the Auth::user() )?

This will allow us to assign the time zone to the user without necessarily listening to the authentication event.

$ip = $this->getFromLookup();

@oza75 do you still require this?

@oza75 I'm wondering if this #36 is going to help with that? It's still being worked on but I think we will release an update soon.
