Here are 11 personal tips for traveling with an open heart.
- Patience: It takes some time to arrive. Many indigenous peoples know that the soul takes time to get from one place to another.
- Do not make comparisons with home or other trips. This obscures what is in front of you.
- Not everything has to “work” exactly as you would imagine. When traveling, you want to get out of the way of functioning.
- Treat yourself and others to the luxury of “time”! Slowness is more important on the road than maximizing holiday impressions.
- Try to live in here and now if possible. Every moment is precious and unique, so you should enjoy it.
- Active observation without intervening or judging.
- Ask questions and listen.
- Smile at nonsensical things instead of getting upset.
- Little or no thought about home. Instead, enjoy being on the go.
- When you come home, it is also important to take some time to get back home.
- When traveling by air, choose a duration that is appropriate to the distance from the travel destination. At least one week for Europe, at least two weeks for trips to other continents. By contributing to climate protection projects on platforms such as Atmosfair.de, you can compensate for part of the CO2 emissions from your flight
