To my own experience, conditions to change could be found in the definition of
traveling for few reasons: far from everyday life with a more open spirit, able to act
out of comfort zone, be with people I appreciate, meet new people and new idea and
act in present time.
After looking for more definitions, I realized this definition is not share by usual
resources. So I offer you a new way to consider traveling more closed to a spiritual
journey than a touristic one.
I will present here 6 travels I did like opportunities to share, learn, discover, accept
who we are and to change deeply ourselves.
I will focus first on places and people and then on changes we could see in my path.
To conclude we will highlight how be the change make your world change.

HOW PEOPLE SEE ME CHANGING?
WHAT HAVE REALLY CHANGED: work, activities and well being?
WHAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE?
Since 5 years,
travel after travel
I change my
everyday life
rituals including
yoga, meditation
and now
mindfulness.
We could see in this 3 graphs how my life has changed :
- Incomes and work activities (graph 1), total switch from marketing to teaching and
it is just a step.
- The kind ofactivities along the month, less and less outside activities for a more
deep connexion to my inner self. (graph 2)
- Well being, stress and health have considerably changed (graph 3)
These travels
changed my
path, my
believes, my
work, my well
being and help
me to find my
calling
In this part, I asked my friends to write few words about how they see me changing
during the last five years and then I asked them how it has contibuted to their own
change.
No best lesson that Be the change you want to see in the world !
