To Mom

For letting me go when I needed to fly and always being there when I got lost...

To Kathy

For helping me find my way

To Dad

For changing the direction of the journey

Ones destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.

INTRODUCTION

Are you stressed out? Tired of your job? Bored with your relationship? Healing from an illness? Feeling uninspired or dealing with a loss? Pack your bags because Travel Therapy can help you find your way. Instead of sinking into depression after a heart-wrenching breakup or a botched business deal, or snapping at friends and family because youre stressed to the limit, now theres help. You can change your attitude by changing your environment. Youve heard the phrase you cant run away from your problemsbut you can embrace whats bothering you and use travel to help deal with whatever life throws your way.

Travel Therapy helps you pick the right vacation depending on what youre going through in life. If youre looking for an adventure, a romantic escape, a way to reconnect with your kids, a girlfriend getaway, a volunteer vacation, or just a blissed-out spa trip, Travel Therapy has you covered.

Where you go depends on how you want to feel. Inspired? Try heading to the mountains or a secluded beach. Empowered? Learn to drive a racecar, dive with sharks, or make chocolate. Energized? How about a spa, bike trip, or hike? The options are endless and the payback is priceless. So what are you waiting for? Pick the trip that fits you best and let Travel Therapy take you on one journey you cant afford to miss.

Take two vacations, then call me in the morning.

TRAVEL THERAPY DIAGNOSIS

If you chose mostly A answers, you need TRAVEL THERAPY that falls under Push Yourself Forward, where you are challenged both physically and mentally. In this category, youre literally pushedif not shovedout of your comfort level and right into some daring adventures.

If you answered mostly B, then you need physical activity, so your best TRAVEL THERAPY options are adventure vacations, falling under Sweat It Out of Your System. In this category, youll be so busy exerting yourself that you wont have time to wail about what went wrong in your relationship.

If you find you have mostly C answers, pick a trip under Lick Your Wounds and Heal. This TRAVEL THERAPY allows you to check your worries at the door and relax your mind, body, and spirit. A word of warning, though: For this TRAVEL THERAPY you need to be strong enough to be alone with your emotions and brave enough to deal with them if they hit you during your downtime, like halfway through your massage.

If you find your answers are split between several categories, lucky you, because you have more TRAVEL THERAPY options to choose from. So lets get started. Pick the trip that fits where you are right now and make the commitment to make a change.

The bottom line is this: Its time to move forward and thats where TRAVEL THERAPY can help. Its not that you cant do it alone; of course you can. But why waste time on the wrong trip when youre likely not thinking too clearly to begin with? With TRAVEL THERAPY, you can change your attitude by changing your environment, and if you choose the right destination you may even change your life!
