It's not you, it's me!

How ways of being influence your perception of places, people, and experiences.

Often I’m asked about my favorite place, and there are many. Honestly, it is a difficult one to answer. Is it the place, or is it how I was being and feeling in the place? And as we know, all sorts of variables contribute to our way of being at any given moment.

Places are beautiful, and travel is all about connecting with fellow humans to share and learn with. This makes them perceptions and sensorial and should be experienced with all of the senses, including intuition.

So it is our state of mind, our awareness of being, and our presence that influences how we experience other people and places.

This means that places are invitations, gateways, or thresholds to cross. Surely, some places and experiences amplify the possibility of feeling aware, awake, and alive, but we are the ones driving the bus.

This is why we dedicate an entire session with our course participants on how to move travelers from putting together a travel to do-list, to creating a to-be list.

Tourism and travel can be so much more mindful, reciprocal, and impactful with this shift.
