7 Travel Destinations to Visit and Find Yourself

Lots of people travels to find themselves, but are there any perfect travel destinations for this purpouse?

They say that travel broadens the mind, but it can also have an even more profound effect on our mental state. Caught up in the bustle of our busy days, it's easy to mislay our sense of self and lose track of what's important in life - but travelling to a new place helps us to reset our perspectives and discover ourselves anew.

So if you feel your joy for life needs a boost and you need to rediscover your true time and place, pick up your backpack, and head for one of these inspiring and beautiful countries where you can find yourself again.

ARGENTINA

The first of our perfect places to travel to when seeking resolution of inner discord, Argentina is the land that prompted even Che Guevara to embark on a journey of transformation, turning him into a historical figure beyond his political ideas. Wide open grasslands, a still living earth, and only sparse traces of human influence make this a land that prompts deep reflection on the important questions of life.

AUSTRALIA

The wilderness of the famous outback is home to the rich culture and traditions of the Indigenous Australians, with their emphasis on internal dialogue and self discovery. This history, combined with the wide open spaces and endless roads, serves to remind us of our own possibilities - and limits.

NEW ZELAND

Nearby New Zealand, location for the Lord of the Rings films, boasts a rich, green and dramatic countryside perfect for long walks spent thinking deeply, giving your subconscious free reign to solve your problems for you.

INDIA

India has a long history steeped in deep religious beliefs, where meditation, revelation and enlightenment are part of the culture's very fabric. Coming to terms with your inner self is done with ease here, almost by osmosis it seems.

IRELAND

A country of ancient Celtic mystery and magic. Be enchanted by tales of hidden worlds and unseen companions, stories from a realm so far removed from our routines that we can't help but embark on a voyage of personal discovery.

VIETNAM

A country of breathtaking natural beauty, with a society so different to the Western norm that visitors can't help but confront their habitual perspective on life. A visit to Vietnam enriches our views of both our own culture and of our inner selves.

JAPAN

Finally, Japan is the country of contemplative cherry blossoms and Zen gardens, with a culture that places a huge importance on order, diligence, and an infinite calm in facing both success and adversity. The Japanese way of life is meticulous, philosophical and has much to teach us - so where could be a better place to find both peace and your true sense of self?
