traveling is a great thing - i guess we can all agree on that. for me, it's not about packing my bags and taking a vacation, leaving "real life" behind for a while - it's a lifestyle, part of my true reality and a necessity.
there are infinite ways to travel, and an abundance of places to see. each journey, be it near or far, is worth so much more than the eventual amount of money spent on it - if you travel wisely. letting go in order to gain is the key phrase here: if you open your heart and soul to what's undiscovered and beyond your knowledge, the journey will be rewarding and everlasting.
as every person is different, so are the possible experiences on their various trips. how does one choose where to go - and what are the reasons? is there some way to turn this thought around, to find out where people should go, depending on their present state of mind, body and soul?
"getting lost to find your way... you need to go today" are karen schaler's words, writer of a book called "travel therapy". she combined the two interesting elements of destinations to choose and the therapeutic thought behind the journey.
i went to her book reading in new york city today, watched her enthusiastic character, listened to her emotionally personal travel stories and heard the world premiere of the book's accompanying song, sung by my friend and co-worker rob holub.
i think the book is a very creative approach to the "travel" subject, and karen's catchy lines give the whole business-like tourism industry a much-needed personal, emotional and even fun touch. happy reading! happy wandering! ;)
