How To Grow Spiritually And
Personally Trough Travel
Get off the Resort Travel Solo
Yes, we all need complete
relaxation and pampering from
time to time. And for some,
traveling anywhere alone or
new is completely frightening.
So, if this is where you are on
your journey, please start
there! However, I believe real
growth happens when we
venture beyond the comfy
"touristy" areas and observe the
local scene, culture, landscape,
and people. Not only does it
allow a glimpse into a different
lifestyle, beautiful scenery, and
interesting people, but it also
provides you with a deeper
appreciation for what you have
and the life you live. Sounds scary I know, but the
benefits are great! Traveling
alone teachers independence,
improves confidence, and
deepens intuition. It also
reveals strengths and
weaknesses such as
navigational skills, languages,
meeting people and following
your intuition. Ultimately you
discover that you're capable of
traveling by yourself, making
your own choices, finding your
way, and talking to strangers.
And one thing to keep in mind..
You are never really all alone.
There are people everywhere
to talk to and assist you.
Travel with a group
of strangers
I did this first in South Africa with
a mission group and then on a
sailboat in the Caribbean. You
quickly learn how to communicate
effectively, compromise, and
respect others despite your
differences, otherwise, there can
be drama and hurt feelings! It also
expands your circle of
international connections and
feeling connected is vital to our
spiritual growth.
