Travel for ourselves

Loved Cherished Adored –

As we plan travel experiences, we are opening ourselves to new ideas.

We want to make sure we are as comfortable as possible as we explore new places.

One of the ways we comfort ourselves is to look for what we all have in common, even in new places.

Although the sights, sounds, tastes and experiences may be different, we all appreciate the same things.

All the people we meet value safety and respect.

All the people we meet are interested in the welfare of all our families.

It is fun to exchange stories and to discover something new and surprising.

It is also wonderful to discover what we have in common.

I love exploring and then reflecting on my experiences.

I love to discover my quiet places of enjoyment as I sketch while having tea at a cafe, or walk through a botanical garden.

Everyone has different ideas for travel, and they are all interesting.

It is enlightening to learn the history of different places.

What influences their art, poetry, literature.

What holiday celebrations are about.

The special food and their cultural elements.

It is especially interesting to find out how our culture is viewed from outside it.

It lets us know there is more to the world than what we have grown up with.

It shows us that we exist in a larger context.

This is an important aspect of travel as it gives us more consideration of others.

We enjoy our travel as we embrace an uplifting attitude within ourselves.

We travel to learn.

Others are learning about us as they observe how we react to our new environment, one they are familiar with.

It is especially nice to receive the many kindnesses which are offered all along the way.
