Why are you traveling after all ?

The question seems simplistic but thinking about it, it is difficult to really answer it.

We are not talking here about vacation trips that allow you to take a break, rest and discover idyllic landscapes or those who travel out of obligation, without looking, without noticing anything. No.

We are speaking here to people who have deliberately chosen to cross borders, almost by instinct, by internal necessity. In life, you can choose to stay in your office and spend your whole life within a radius of 50km around your place of residence. Others decide to travel the world to discover “the customs of others”. The same goes for the decision to export your business.

Take a few minutes to answer the following questions.

Find your way

What drives you inside to travel ?
Why did you choose this international job ?
Why do you want to leave so much ?
What would you like to see ? To discover ?
What is hidden behind this desire for elsewhere ?
What are for you the important criteria to take into account in the “memorability” of a trip ? Is it the people you meet, the gastronomy, the hotel room or simply the authenticity of a place, the beauty of the people and everyday life?

“Travelers are dreamers who make their desires for adventure a reality.” Mark Twain.

The polishing of our soul

You never stay the same from a trip abroad. Our outlook on things and the human condition is changing.

How has traveling transformed your being ?
Do you find when you’re back from your travels that your fellow citizens have biaised beliefs or are sometimes narrow-minded ?

Change your outlook on the world

These very personal questions should remind us of the complexity but also the extreme richness of an international development approach that could be extrapolated into international personal development.
Because curiously, we discover ourselves by wanting to discover others, like an inner journey in search of our solitary soul.

What inspires you about the world ?
How has your perspective changed ?
What are the most precious memories you have in mind ?

Be enchanted by the simplest things

Chance is often the best guide and in a city, you sometimes have to “know how to get lost”.
In export, the same goes for business where sometimes, small opportunities are at the origin of great successes.

“To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.” Aldous Huxley
