There are a lot of people who take a retreat away from work in order to find themselves. What’s interesting is that so many of them all travel to the same destinations. India is a really common destination for this type of self-healing vacation. New Zealand is another popular choice. But you don’t have to go to these places to figure out how to restore balance and peace in your life. In fact, you can go to whichever place really beckons to you.
Think about the places that you’ve learned about in your lifetime. Which ones really stick out in your memory? Do you remember learning about the ice field in Banff Alberta when you were in grade school? Do you recall hearing about a friend’s brief trip to Venezuela ten or fifteen years ago? There is probably a reason that these places ring a bell for you. These are probably the places that you should go to find yourself.
As for me, I’ve got two spots in mind. One is Buenos Aires, Argentina. The other is Reykjavik, Iceland. I know, I know; these two places couldn’t be more different from one another. Nevertheless, these are the two spots that stick in my memory. If I ever need to get away from this city to find myself, I’m going to one of those two cities.
