How can you discover meaningful travel?

  • Park your fears and hang-ups, and engage with people of the world.
  • Make an effort to learn some words in a different language and communicate even when you make mistakes or think you look silly.
  • Laugh at yourself, try something new, make mistakes, even for things you previously took for granted.
  • See locals as world neighbors, not attractions.

  • Not to judge another culture or impose your own values. Instead, you seek to understand other cultures.
  • Stay completely present and take in the entire experience, rather than over-thinking and missing the moment

Enjoy locally-run and locally-owned establishments and activities. You may even visit or live in a village, community or neighborhood in order to better appreciate another culture or a different way of life.
