After Airbnb bought Trip4Real in 2016, the travel trend began to shift from sightseeing endeavors to more intimate encounters with local landscapes and cultures. Instead of traveling to enjoy similar home commodities or cuisines in exotic places, travelers began to seek journeys that allowed them to experience life as the locals did and to reflect on their journeys afterward. This change in travel motivation is what spurred the experiential travel trend of 2018: transformational travel.
What is transformational travel? Transformational travel is any travel experience that promotes personal change through exposure to and engagement with physical or cultural experiences. This type of travel requires a sense of openness and mindfulness that promotes mental, emotional, and/or spiritual reflection. The goal of transformational travel is to leave the experience augmented. What are the benefits of transformational travel? For many, transformational travel is a multidimensional experience. While it may begin as a means of disconnecting from stress within travelers’ daily lives, it can renew perspectives of self, others, and the world, leaving travelers with more purpose and passion for life. In addition to fostering the self, transformational travel can also cultivate meaningful relationships with other people and cultures. What is needed for transformational travel? Intention Transformational travel requires a significant amount of intention. Travelers have to ask themselves why they are traveling, and what they hope to gain from their time spent traveling. While travelers may find some of the answers along the way, it is valuable to begin with a purpose. Openness In addition to careful consideration of intention, transformational travel requires an open mind, especially when encountering foreign cultures and experiences. This openness ensures travelers are able to release any inhibitions and allow themselves the opportunity to engage purposefully, which is key for a life-changing experience. Reflection For travel to be transformational, it is important for the travelers to take breaks throughout the trip to reflect on the experiences they have had and the people and cultures they have encountered. Whether this reflection manifests in meditation, prayer, journal keeping, or another art form or mindfulness, it provides travelers the downtime necessary to derive lessons from their experiences. This method allows travelers the opportunity to step away from the trip with a renewed sense of identity, altered perspectives of the world, lessons learned, and cultivated relationships that will carry them further. Application Once the trip is over, it is essential travelers make a conscious effort to apply their experiences and lessons to their daily lives. Without this application, travelers risk losing the impact of their trip. Whether travelers apply their experiences and lessons to their own lives or share the fruits of their travels with their family, friends, and communities, this exchange of information proves valuable for contributing to greater growth and transformation. For many, transformational travel fosters connection and transformation, leaving travelers rejuvenated and with greater senses of purpose. Interested in exploring more about transformative travel?

If you’re driving on streets or highways having higher speed limits, you will probably want to get a gas powered scooter as they can be much speedier

I am glad you like our site. I think the festival organizers will be creating a poster, but it's not available as yet. I can post you one if you send me your address using the contact form on the website. There is a teeshirt! with the earth and ocean festival logo (black with white logo) raising money for the five conservation nonprofits. It comes in sml, med, Lg, and Xlg and is $28, it would be $14 to post to you. I can send you an invoice by email if you would like one - again email through the sites contact form if you are interested.

Solo travelling gives you a sense of freedom. When you travel with others you have to be considerate of what they might want to do at any point in time or where they want to go. But with solo travel you can literally do whatever you want, whenever you want. You don't have to wonder whether or not your companion may or may not enjoy the plans you made. Travelling solo helps you build your self confidence with others. Solo travel can be used as a way to push yourself and build up confidence in talking to others by making yourself do it on a regular basis. You really do have nothing to lose. You have to bring a tripod for your photos or better make a new friend!

Im amazed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that?s equally educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you've hit the nail on the head. The problem is something which too few folks are speaking intelligently about. Now i'm very happy that I came across this in my hunt for something relating to this.

By opting for this model, you also benefit from front and rear suspension with elastomer dampers and headlights. Front-mounted and rear-assist hydraulic disc brakes are also characteristic of this type of off-road electric scooter model
