Discover Your Travel Spectrum
The Journey Spectrum allows you to create a starting point on your travel journey. Where are you most comfortable in your travels.
We may look at others and think I want to be doing that, but we all have a time when we require different experiences. There are times when I want to be pampered, I want someone else to take care of the details for me. I want to relax and not worry. If that is the case, then for that trip, I should be looking at trips that fall in the cool spectrum.
Then, there are times when I can turn up the heat. I want to discover places on my own, coordinate all of the details, and be engaged in the entire process. I want the freedom to do exactly what I want when I want, and I am prepared to make mistakes and have small mishaps.
