Reflect on 'Travel (and Experience)'
 
Reflect means grasping the totality of a situation, especially our own role in producing it
Ask if you learned the lesson an experience presents. Without review, integration, and resolution, we have wasted the opportunity it presents to us. Learn more.
 
 
What is the purpose of your trip or experience?
 
Listen

To have fun? To have new experiences? To meet people? To learn something?
How will your travels impact the environment and local communities?
Will you have the opportunity to experience the culture, nature, environment? Or will you be isolated and cut off from truly experiencing the destination?
What is the unique spirit of the place you are visiting, in terms of culture, customs, language, laws, and the people?
What is your relationship to the businesses you use, such as lodging and tourism businesses? Is your goal to find the best service for the lowest price?
What can you do of significance on this trip? Can you contribute to or enrich the communities you visit? Can you form relationships with fellow travellers?
What experiences you have had on this trip? How did they affect you? Have you changed?
