Whether embarking on a six month safari or a three day business trip, readers will learn much from Jim Currie's insightful guide to travel and self-discovery. By drawing upon Buddhism and other Eastern traditions, the author introduces the reader to techniques and tools that will make every travel experience a rewarding, spiritual journey into the self. Advocating journaling as a way to give form and structure to thought and fleeting impressions, Currie walks the reader through the entire process of effective journaling: selecting the appropriate journal and writing tools, organizing the journal into different sections, and deciding upon the appropriate "spiritual touchstones." Currie also includes helpful anecdotes and examples from his own extensive travel experiences, offering tips for planning trips, determining objectives, organizing and allocating time, budgeting, traveling with others, packing, staying healthy, and dealing with emergencies.
