The Power of Transformational Travel

Have you ever gotten home from traveling and felt different? Like you aren’t quite the same person as before you left?

This is the power of transformational travel, and I’m a firm believer in using travel to transform not only yourself, but also your life.

Transformational travel isn’t just about getting from point A to B. It’s not about counting countries. It’s more than just sipping cocktails on a beach or checking off all the hottest tourist spots.

Travel is an amazing opportunity to learn, grow and embrace new experiences that will have a positive impact on the people and the world around us—and long after returning home.

Travel can be so incredibly powerful and magical. It can be the catalyst for big life changes, and, if you’re lucky, a great awakening.

But the truth is, transformation doesn’t come from travel itself—it comes from you, the traveler.

Sure, travel might inspire change. The amazing places we visit, the people we meet, the experiences we have—all of these things have the ability to influence us for the better and give us perspectives that motivate us to do and be better.

But the real change comes from within. The incredible power of travel is in its ability to help us all to grow, learn and heal. And that growth should continue long after you return home and unpack your bags.

So the next time you plan a trip (and again after you return), ask yourself:

“How can I use this experience to stretch, learn, and grow into new ways of existing and engaging with the world?”
