Travel as Transformation by David J Wright
When you travel to a foreign land, do you experience this new place as your old self? Or do you become a new version of you? From living in a van in San Diego to growing chocolate with indigenous tribes in Central America, to teaching in the Middle East and volunteering in Africa, Gregory V. Diehl has spent his entire adult life discovering the world and himself. Leaving his California home shortly after his 18th birthday, he went on to live and work in 45 countries across the globe by age 28. By recounting the existential lessons from his journey, Diehl challenges the reader to question how their identity has been shaped by the culture and lifestyle they know. He argues, compellingly, that travel can transform your perception of yourself along with the world. By losing your comfortable sense of self, you learn to examine your life through the structure of everything it can become. To travel solo a truly open mind is to forget who you were when you started. It is to be constantly born anew, to discover your strengths and find your path in life. Travel As Transformation will give you the wisdom, the inspiration, and the resources to conquer the limitations placed by your arbitrary past. Whether traveler or non-traveler, its lessons about approaching the uncomfortable and unfamiliar apply to everyone.A lifetime of worldwide travel taught Gregory V.Diehl the art and science of communication. His interest in assisting others, learning about himself, and discussing value led him to the subject of identity building for businesses and individuals. Gregory's global travels have given him a unique view on human civilization's history. He writes about important topics such as meaningful enterprise, education, family, relationships, and self-discovery. Gregory enjoys mentoring brilliant but rebellious young people in addition to teaching and coaching.
In his spare time, he travels the world in search of new places to visit, and he is creating a personal lifestyle sanctuary in southern Ecuador. Breaking down the barriers of comfort and culture, realizing the potential of living things, and contributing to a better life for hungry dogs, cats, and children are among his basic principles.
