I'll be sharing with you some of the benefits of mindful travel. If you are looking to live your dream life of traveling the world, this video is for you. If you already do, or want to start, traveling with intention and awareness, this video is for you too.
In today’s fast paced society we often feel rushed and stress out about things we can’t control. We don’t have time to slow down and explore the world. We don’t have time to stop and smell the roses.

What is mindfulness?
Mindfulness is the ability to practice being fully present in the moment. It’s about being conscious, being aware, being aware of your thoughts, feelings and emotions. Being mindful is about being in the moment.
What are the benefits of mindful travel?
Being mindful is so much more than just thinking about what happened yesterday. It’s a new mindset for the future, and it's a mindset that can only be achieved by slowing down and taking in more of the world around us.
There are so many benefits to learning how to travel mindfully:
It helps you appreciate where you are at all times, whether you’re in a hotel room or at home. It can help you see the beauty in everyday situations.
You’ll learn more about yourself. By being more present in the moment, you’ll begin to understand yourself better. You’ll start to notice the things you find enjoyable, the things that bring you happiness and the things you don’t enjoy.
You’ll begin to build stronger connections with people you meet. By noticing the details and the things that matter in the world around us, we become more approachable.
You’ll learn to enjoy all types of foods. Food is an integral part of our everyday lives. We tend to eat out or eat whatever we’re presented with. We eat whatever is convenient or what looks good.

- You’ll learn how to enjoy every day more. If you can practice mindfulness and notice the details of your day, you’ll start to appreciate everything that you do have.
It’s important to remember that this is a lifestyle. You can’t force yourself to be mindful. You can’t expect yourself to change the way you live. It has to start from within,
