Travel as a means of finding oneself is certainly nothing new: for centuries human beings have been wandering in search of themselves, and I am sure that at least once you too have felt lost and decided that a ticket to an unknown destination was the solution.
Maybe you are thinking right now about going on a new adventure of self-discovery.
Well, today I want to give you an unusual suggestions of 4 things that cannot be missing in your backpack to make your trip a true act of self-love.
Let’s backpack and get going!
Before we talk about what will make your backpack a fun companion though, I want to tell you one thing: If you’re thinking that booking a ticket is enough to shed light on the confusion you feel and find love again, you’re wrong.
Sure, it would be great if a simple reservation was what you needed to heal your heart, but the real wonder lies in what requires commitment. Everyone has happened to go on a trip convinced it was the solution to a difficult time only to find themselves sitting on some bench in a new city conversing with the same “monsters” they thought they had left behind. The truth is that you can go as far as you want, but what you have inside knows no boundaries; it follows you everywhere.
It is not enough to book a trip to find self-love, that is true, but sometimes the trip is just what our confused heart needs.
Why to leave on a trip is not enough to find oneself:
Why a trip may turn out to be the right answer thou:
If you are thinking of leaving to find yourself, it is most likely a good idea! But for your experience to be truly enriching, it is important to keep one thing in mind: loving yourself takes time, commitment and care, and these three things are nourished by small gestures.
Taking a big step, such as booking a trip, is a good start, but the real heart of the game then lies in the small gestures you make each day of that journey: those are the keys to finding yourself.
Loving oneself means respecting one’s own rhythms, welcoming every facet of one’s being, every mood, knowing how to say no but also knowing when to push one’s limits in order to grow.
Getting out of your geographic comfort zone allows you to write the days from scratch, asking yourself each time, “What do I really need?”
Often it is in the simplicity that the answer lies: in fact, what will make the adventure the right opportunity to find yourself will be the small attentions you’ll give yourself every day.
Leaving to regain a deep connection with oneself is not always easy, and the first few days may be all uphill. The small actions we talked about earlier are a good way to stay on track, to stimulate oursomewhat wounded or confused hearts.
So, I want to suggest you a list of 4 items to put in your backpack; they may seem unusual to you, but then again, you leave to break the limits of a comfort-zone that is too narrow. Take it as a game, a chance to find lost parts of yourself.
Here, then, is what cannot be missing from your backpack:
Pick a garment from your closet that you like a lot but end up never wearing thinking it’s not the right occasion or because it “doesn’t fit” with the usual image of yourself. Remember to be daring: you are in a new place, no one knows you, and you can experiment with new versions of you; Is your time to be who you want to be!
When you are traveling you tend to have more attentive and curious ears; take the opportunity to “peek” into people’s conversations and note down what strikes your heart. Those phrases will be inspirational and shift the focus of your thoughts out of your thought loop, unlocking those mental loops that are at the root of the dissatisfaction that set you off in the first place.
When traveling we tend to spend without paying attention to how much each expense is in fact a gift we give ourselves. Carefully choosing how to spend that bill, as if that were the only gift we give ourselves, helps to devote a moment of extreme care and attention to us, making us feel pampered and cared for. It may also prove to be an opportunity to rediscover long-forsaken sides of us (a cookbook, a visit to a photo exhibit, a set of watercolors…maybe a new passion is behind our gift!).
Caring for another individual through a simple gesture nurtures our loving side, thus spurring us to reproduce that same feeling of caring for ourselves. Before you leave, choose something that was yours and that you think it might be nice to receive and put it in your backpack; in order to find ourselves we must first learn to let go.
Well, now that your backpack is ready all you have to do is to leave and rely on that person who knows how to find you: yourself.
And remember: if you’re not yet ready to embark on a completely solo trip, find out about the services available with my My Friend In program…it could be the opportunity you’ve been looking for to take off!
To love oneself is to embrace the infinite facets of us that emerge over time: some will be with us for a lifetime, others

Aprovecha las escalas ✈️
Las escalas a veces pueden parecer una molestia, ¡pero en realidad es una excelente manera de ver un nuevo lugar gratis!
A menudo busco específicamente vuelos que tienen una escala larga en algún lugar en el que nunca he estado ✨
Además, gracias al Stopover, es posible combinar unas
minivacaciones con tus vacaciones principales.
¿Alguna vez has aprovechado una escala antes?

Si può conoscere molto di una popolazione attraverso le sue tradizioni e cultura.
Il sentimento e forte coinvolgimento che hanno alle Canarie per il Carnevale ci parla in maniera esplicita del loro modo di essere: "festaioli", allegri, gioviali. Prendono la vita sempre con il sorriso e alla "lleggera".
Alla fine, come dice una delle più famose canzoni del panorama musicale latino e carnavalero: "No hay que llorar, que la vida es un carnaval, y las penas se van cantando" - "non bisogna piangere, che la vita è solo un carnevale e la pena va via cantando"
E viaggiando e vivendo in un altro contesto culturale diverso dal proprio di origine, perché non approfittare e far propri gli aspetti che più ci piacciono di quella cultura ed arricchire la nostra personalità e mentalità con queste buone energie?

E ricordati sempre:
Mangia, viaggia, AMA 💞

🇮🇹👇🏼!Feliz día de San Patricio! Hoy por supuesto que toca un
#throwback🔙 a aquella vez que me fui de viaje a solas a Irlanda y casi me lleva el viento en el #acantilados de #moher 🤣✌🏻
Si estás pensando en visitar Irlanda, aquí hay 3 cosas que debes hacer absolutamente:
📍Relajarte en Glassillaun Beach
📍Tour de (al menos) 2 días en Dublín y visitar la fábrica de Guinness (es un actividad muy "turística" pero merece la pena 😋🍺)
📍Admirar la vista desde los acantilados de Moher (espero tengas más suerte que yo 🤭 pero me divertí como una niña😆☔️)
⚠️Recordatorio de hoy:
Las cosas, en los viajes como en la vida, no siempre van como quieras o la programas pero la clave está en DISFRUTAR de lo que nos pase y encontrar el lado positivo en todo 🌻
Nunca pierdas tu sonrisa.
Y acuérdate: COME, VIAJA, AMA 💞
