Start with the End in Mind

I had totally forgotten about Steven Covey and his Seven Habits.

Turns out that Habit 2 - Start With the End in Mind - had been floating around in my head but I hadn't connected the dots.


What this habit suggests, essentially, is that we must create the image of our goal and then live consciously with this vision as a reference point.

Through imagination we are able to visualize our own potential, which is critical when aiming towards a big change or shift, as in the case of long term travel and relocation.

It is around this Habit which I created Adventure Mapping.  I love a good travel idea;  you're here because you have one.  It might read something like, "some day I'd love to spend a year travelling through South America," or "I've always wanted to move to DreamLand."

While these ideas are beautiful, they are incredibly vague and nebulous.  So long as they alone represent a travel goal you might have, the liklihood of actualizing that dream is incredibly small.  That is, unless, you're the kind of person who on a whim up and decides it's time to just hop on a plane.  Which would be awesome.

Through Adeventure Mapping I lead you on a journey to turn that idea into something much more tangible and specific --- to allow yourself the space to dream big, get whimsical, and build fun details into your Travel Vision.

Only then, with a more clear End In Mind, can you start to be more deliberate and actionable in making that journey a reality.
