Our Travel Journal
Taking time to nourish yourself while traveling is so important and can be done on any trip! Carlie Grob is Purposeful Nomads yoga teacher, meditation leader, nutritious chef and all around giver of enlightenment and rejuvenation! She can be found on our retreats and truly has been a gift to the Purposeful Nomad community. Here are her wise words about how to incorporate more nourishment into your travels.
At Purposeful Nomad we really try and reconstruct the standard idea of giving back, volunteering, service- whatever you choose to call it. We have found the most impactful way to “give” is to actually “receive.” Being open as travelers to receiving information, stories, history and cultural education is one of the best things we can do to give back in an authentic and honest way. The “give back” part of this is creating a mutual understanding and respect between cultures which organically leads to supporting and helping the non-profits, organizations and individuals we choose to work with during our trips.
If you want to avoid the stereotypical group tour experience (you know the one… a mob of obviously foreign tourists all wearing the same neon color, being shouted at through a loudspeaker by their guide), you need to book with the right company. But with the thousands of companies out there, how do you find the right one?
At Purposeful Nomad, we designed our trips to incorporate ethical adventures which support the local economies, all while getting unique experiences you couldn’t arrange on your own. We strive to follow the following six principles, which we think should be present in any small group tour worthy of your time and money!
