Publisher Description:
Travel has changed my life and eventually I came to realize that it has changed the lives of others as well. Here are some of the stories of how travel has transformed people and the communities where they live. Not all the stories are earth-shattering epiphanies; some are just gentle adjustments. Not everyone's story is uplifting either. Each of us can probably recall at least one travel horror that makes great retelling.
I think all travel creates an inner adventure allowing us to reinvent ourselves over and over again. There is no age limit or skill requirement for such 'Reinventure'; it is merely the willingness to open our eyes and hearts to possible change.
Travel lifts us out of our comfort zone and lets us use skills developed from hard knocks and training. It also brings us face to face with our inner being, and while we may be surprised at the introduction, we find we're ready for challenges coming our way. Wandering out of our daily routine means we try new things and we see how others regard the world. Sometimes we're smug in our normalcy, especially as compared to our travelling companions; other times we have much to learn.
So, pick a destination or an activity you want to experience and figure out how to get there. If your budget is small, your trips may be shorter or closer to home, or you may need to combine work with travel, but there is always a way.
This book is a celebration of travel. I've felt its positive effects and I've seen it change others. Hopefully you'll see yourself in some of the adventures, and be inspired to create you own Reinventure
