Transformational Travel Journal

The Transformational Travel Journal is designed as a guide to show us how to explore the world (and our backyard) more mindfully, reflect on experiences with a more meaningful perspective, connect with others more intimately, and thereby, foster a more intentional and purpose-driven life. As expressed by Phil Cousineau, “If we prepare our imagination as carefully as we pack our bags, then we will experience, learn, remember far more.”

This unique journal was thoughtfully written, based on the rigorous multi-disciplinary study, to empower travelers with accessible tools and practices that cultivate more meaningful travel. Based on ancient wisdom, mythology, and contemporary science, it is more than a journal, it is an insightful guide to exploring the world, and your own backyard, more mindfully. You'll be guided into a deeper connection with yourself, your companions, and with others, and challenged to find more ample time and space to reflect on experiences, meaning-make, and thereby, you'll be fostering a more intentional, virtuous, and heart-centric life and contributing to a more ethical, empathetic, equitable, and ecological world.

This journal is a guide to discovering the full potential of a traveler’s journey by helping them harness the power of travel to create personal growth and make a positive impact in the world. The guide is presented as a journal, a travel companion in which to capture thoughts, ideas, memories, and to create your story.
