In this book, I will share my experiences in many countries and guide you to grasp the concept of wandering within yourself with a traveling mind! Through essays and writing exercises, you will learn to become your own best friend while simultaneously creating deeper and more meaningful connections with people. You will be encouraged to conquer your fears and experience transformational experiences both near and far, and learn about the opportunities I provide for group travel. This purpose of this book is to inspire you to see the world. However, I believe this book's content can still benefit you even if you don't have the desire to travel by helping access parts of yourself not previously apparent, allowing expansion right where you are.
