Transformative Traveling
Nothing changes after traveling unless you travel consciously.
Sessions available in: English, Spanish
What?
Traveling is about crossing boundaries. We cross geographical boundaries in order to discover the world and yet, sometimes we end up reinforcing our own limitations. We see traveling as an escape, to get away from a job, from responsibilities, from memories, from people, from the hustle and bustle of our daily lives. We escape for a day, for a week, for a month, or a year, only to discover upon our return that nothing has changed. That we have not changed, and therefor we are still confronted with the same issues as before, we even call that “back to reality”.
Yet, there is another way. Traveling can be an aid in shattering your limitations, instead of reinforcing them.
Our goal is to maximize the experiential and transformative power of travel, to forge a new way of living and being in the world. It is as much about shifting your mindset to embrace travel as a life-changing experience as it is about traveling itself.
To achieve this, we help you prioritize the “why and how” of travel, rather than the “what and where”. We see travel as an opportunity to reflect, to learn, and to reset. It allows you to figure out what really matters.
The skills you learn when conquering your fears or limitations, and the things you discover when starting your journey of self will help you grow as a person.
The best journeys are the ones that take us out of our comfort zone. The ones that challenge us to discover not just the world, but also ourselves. The ones where, through new experiences, you adopt new ideas and thoughts, and leave behind the ones that no longer fit you. Those are the travels that make a difference. Upon your return you are no longer the same person as the one who left. You have transformed.
We will help you find answers to questions such as:
How can I discover my boundaries and how can I expand them? Which activities can help me to surpass my own limitations?
How do I identify my comfort zone, and how do I get out of it?
What do I want to feel or experience during my trip? (instead of: where do I want to go?) How can I achieve this?
How can I travel alone without feeling lonely?
How can I make friends while traveling in a new country?
How to stay safe?
How to integrate e.g. creativity (or any other theme) into my trip?
What experience will help me to get to know myself in a different way?
What to expect?
We provide 1:1 coaching, offering you guidance along the way of figuring out what it is what you need during your trip. We might give you suggestions, show you opportunities you had not yet thought of yourself, but the ultimate decision will always be yours. We firmly believe that handling your own bookings is part of the coaching process, as it facilitates problem-solving skills while on the road. This sense of ownership and responsibility ultimately leads to more authentic and meaningful travel experiences. As a consequence, you will plan your own itinerary, book your flights, activities, and hotel rooms; and we will be with you during this process to guide you and give you suggestions and options to look into! We will share our practical travel expertise and insights with you. Our service will have a laser focus on your goals and mindset and is about the “why” and “how” of travel.
For whom?
Our service is specifically aimed at people who are looking to reach their goals through their travels, who see traveling not as a way to escape life, but rather want to use that time away to help them move forward with their long-term goals and re-connect again. We offer our services for anyone who wants to travel, whether it is a one-time trip, a sabbatical or extended vacation, or someone looking for guidance on how to integrate this as a “way of life”, a sustainable travel lifestyle, rather than a one-time holidays.
