Many people wonder, what is the connection between two of MY most FAVORITE topics to work with, holistic wellness & travel?
GREAT QUESTION!!
The official definition I have found for Wellness Tourism = travel associated with the pursuit of maintaining or enhancing one’s personal wellbeing. Travel has been known to improve both physical and mental health especially depending on the type of travel you are deciding to embark on.
Some types of travel you would consider for holistic wellness are:
- Yoga & Breathwork
- Art & Creativity
- Meditation & Mindfulness
- Personal Growth & Development
- Sustainability & Environmental
- Cultural Exchange
The goal for travel as it relates to holistic wellness DOES NOT necessarily have to be related to spiritual enlightenment, although many people do it for this reason, but the intent DOES have to be of pure and positive energy to reap its full benefits. Always remember to express mindfulness and gratitude with any travel you decide to do, and you will embrace holistic wellness at its simplest form.
My personal experience with holistic wellness and travel accelerated in 2021 following the pandemic while in general population, 2023 saw a huge takeoff in wellness tourism. Most people, including myself, begin to wellness travel after a significant event that occurred in their lives and want to start thinking outside of what they have always known.
Any destination that you feel called to choose as your location for travel will offer something unique and is clearly meant for you to visit, but some of the most popular destinations are:
- Iceland
- Thailand
- India
- Costa Rica
- United States
I always try to venture away from traveling to the same place twice, if I can, and hone in to my intuition when I am choosing our next adventure location. Some of those places include:
- Aruba
- Costa Rica
- Tulum
- Panama
- Nicaragua
Just to name a few!
