How to Make Your Travel More Meaningful?
12 ways to get connected to your destination
You can travel in so many ways. Your preference depends on your personality, budget, and interest of course. It also depends on who you travel with. Is it a family trip or solo travel? I’m sure that the concept of „meaningful travel” also has various interpretations. Since traveling has played a central part in my life for the last 14 years, I gradually developed a way to have a meaningful trip. But I’m also not one of those who quit their lives to be on the road for long years because I never wished to do that. I cannot imagine being far from my family and friends for too long.
For me, meaningful travel involves the immersion in the local culture and instead of ticking the “must-see monuments,” to get a deeper understanding of an exotic destination.
What I enjoy the most is to „get out of my comfort zone.” I sometimes travel alone or with my husband, but I enjoy doing both.
After a meaningful trip, you feel connected to that place. You will care about what happens in that country because you were there. You will feel happy when they celebrate and have sympathy when things go wrong.
