From the Travel and Transitions web site:
Posted by rollingrains at September 27, 2005 06:13 PMThe motto of this site is "Life is a Journey - Explore New Horizons". Over the last couple of years I realized that there is more to life than work. And I finally figured out that travel is one of my true passions in life.
So I decided to pursue my dream and create a website about travel, travel in a broader sense. Travel in the sense of exploration, learning and life experiences, abroad and at home. So while the majority of this website deals with travel to foreign countries and is chock full of advice, tips, real life travel experiences, interviews with travellers etc. you will also find stories about life and transitions that we face as we go through our life-long journey.
As far as travel is concerned, the focus will be on "travelling with a twist": any sort of travel that has a unique, often unconventional angle to it, travel that involves interesting discoveries, insights, connections and learning experiences. Cross-cultural connections and insights are of particular interest to me, and one of my goals is to help build more tolerance and understanding between people from different places and different cultures.
The purpose of this site is to inspire and give you the resources to explore new horizons, to get out there and discover the world - locally and abroad, connect with people from other cultures and open yourself up to new experiences
