The Hero(ine)’s Journey

“The more alienation, panic and solitude one feels on a

trip, the more likely she or he is to be changed by it.”

!“Your true traveler will not feel

that [she] has had [her] money’s worth unless [she] brings back a few scars.”

!-Paul Fussel, Abroad: British Literary Traveling

Between the Wars

On Discomfort

Opportunity

• Transformative travel is a catalyst that kicks a deeper, wiser part of you into action

• Leaves you with the capacity to confront challenge and live as fully and as BIG as you can

• Increases your awareness, your connections, and your authenticity

DIY: Transformative Travel

1. Choose a destination completely different from your home culture (where you engage in completely

unfamiliar activities)

2. Choose lots of engagement and conversation with the people who actually live there

3. Go alone: remove yourself from your usual influences and influencers to see who you truly are

DIY: Transformative Travel

4. Create time for reflection each day on what you've learned (journaling)

!5. Plan a post-trip activity that supports you in

reflecting on what you learned during your travels

Your Turn…

Clarity + Purpose1. What places scare you…but don’t terrify

you?

2. What core feelings do you wish you could feel more often? (deep love, full-blown happiness, rock-solid confidence, etc.)

3. What types of people (artists, entrepreneurs, scientists, digital nomads, etc.) do you desire to meet more of?

4. From what you know, which cities/countries are known for having those types of people?

"It is not necessarily at home that we best encounter our true selves. The

furniture insists that we cannot change because it does not; the

domestic setting keeps us tethered to the person we are in ordinary life, who

may not be who we essentially are."
