A Travel Manifesto: Our Guide for Memorable Travel
I sat down to write a travel manifesto and struggled. Not struggled for something to say, but struggled with too many things to say.
Sometimes too much sage advice can overwhelm and paralyze. I decided to pare my travel wisdom back to 10.
What are the ten essential guidelines to follow to ensure a memorable travel experience?
To be honest, it’s not just about memorable travel for you, because nothing we ever do involves us. Other people will always be present as our world is interconnected.
The travel manifesto needs to incorporate the experience of those you encounter on your journey and how your growth through travel can make a positive difference.
Thinking like this made it easier for me to select those that I felt, after 15 years of travel, reflected the whole travel experience (no matter how you choose to do it).
My friend Kelly Exeter from A Life Less Frantic is a whiz at presenting manifestos in a stylish, creative and fun way (amongst other great design work).
Kelly recently designed a brilliant Styling Manifesto for my other blogging friend, Nikki.
I knew a travel manifesto was dying to be born.
Kelly took the guide and turned it into an eye-popping manifesto that speaks beautiful travel experiences ahead.
We LOVE it.

Ahh love this!! “Take moments and memories over possessions.” Couldn’t agree more!
Great graphic. It’s extremely important to “love like it is not home” instead of trying to recreate home all the time. I think that is one of the major draws of travel for me.
I agree Forest! I crave the differences always. We love living as a foreigner in another country as even the everyday is an adventure. The bad effect of that of course is when you have to return home. It seems so boring and its so hard to adjust!
Absolutely! I hate that stillness….
Just love it. Even just one of the earlier mantras “stretch your boundaries” could be interpreted so many ways, and keep you busy for months!
