SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL
Travel purpose can change for each trip just as people evolve in their own lifetime . Financial security , new passions and different influences throughout a year can trigger travel needs to be re-prioritized . Staying on top of what is most meaningful to each individual traveling , results in more impactful travels .
Experiencing travel with purpose also frees us from pressures of life as we appreciate the now and embrace being inspired by new sights , sounds and flavors . This vigor gained from new locations often gives us a better perspective of challenges in our day-to-day life . So , it always comes back to , “ Is this experience enriching me , and how can I incorporate more of this back home ?” Some travelers may start cooking differently after tasting new flavors . Other travelers may find continued meaning in giving back to the communities they have visited and fundraising or educating others . It can be as simple as sharing some inspirational photos or writing a thank you to a host you met along the way . It most often is about people connecting in a chosen place .
The characters in a book may not change your life , but what you do on a holiday sure can . So , define your travel needs and make a lasting plan . Your future self will thank you .
