“A good travel journal invites us to draw out our best self both at home and abroad, and The Transformational Travel Journal does just that. Alive with beautiful prompts and spaces to reflect, this is a journal that extends our journeys well beyond the actual trip.”

“Way too many people wander into their time off without a second thought - and all too often that leads to highly processed, low satisfaction vacations. In this inspiring guide, Eric Rupp provides practical questions to help all of us avoid the vacation version of junk food, and much more likely to enjoy meaningful, memorable, and - yes! - transformational travel instead. Get your copy today, reap the rewards for the rest of your life.”

If you are interested in maximizing your travel experiences – and the fact that you’ve picked up this book and read this far is a pretty good sign – this book is for you. 

How does it work?

Through reading and writing, the journal will help you explore internally as well as externally, setting the stage to form connections that will guide and inspire you in making the changes you want to see in yourself and the world.  

Why is it important? 

Globally, with booming numbers of travelers and itineraries, where you go, how you get there, what you do there, whom you interact with, how you treat the environment, and all the rest of your travel choices have consequences. Individually, adventure calls, and it’s vital that you recognize it as the rare opportunity it is to step outside your normal life and grow, learn, connect, and be a force for good. The decisions you make can keep you at arm’s length from yourself and your destination, leaving you unaffected despite the time, money, and effort spent. Or they can lead you toward profound experiences and enduring insights. This book, The Transformational Travel Journal, will help you make the choices that will define the nature of your journey, its role in your life, and ultimately its impact on us all.
