Humans are creatures of habit. That is alright but I strongly believe it helps to be more spontaneous every now and then. I couldn’t care less about people judging me as boring or rigid, but I care a lot about my well-being, mental health, relations and staying young for as long as it’s possible. All those things come apparently with being more spontaneous and allowing yourself a bit of a mental awakening. Becoming spontaneous is a process – often combined with almost a therapeutic approach aimed at breaking down the walls of own habit, convictions and fears. Yes indeed, humans are a creatures of habit – this has helped us for centuries to form a predictable, I daresay boring lifestyles. I have learned however that the unpredictable comes our way either way so it’s good to shake up the system every now and then and stay alert – gorgeously spontaneous.

3. #1 REALITY CHECK
TRAVEL, BE OPEN-MINDED, DREAM & REMEMBER TO WWW.SHARE.TRAVEL
It helps to find out the truth about yourself – don’t trust your judgements, ask your friends if you are
being spontaneous. Ask them to be honest and listen carefully to what they have to say.
4. #2 EXAMINE YOUR BELIEFS
TRAVEL, BE OPEN-MINDED, DREAM & REMEMBER TO WWW.SHARE.TRAVEL
We all have our beliefs. Some are good yet some are extremaly limiting. Examine yours and try to question them.
See if they have any rational base at all. Maybe they are just the echoes of your fears and stereotypes?
5. #3 BE A CHILD AGAIN
TRAVEL, BE OPEN-MINDED, DREAM & REMEMBER TO WWW.SHARE.TRAVEL
Observe the children – see how they always have mental space to be amazed by the wonder of the world. Be
more naive and look like you’ve looked at things when you were 5 year old – free of judgements and fears.
6. #4 REDUCE TIME WASTERS
TRAVEL, BE OPEN-MINDED, DREAM & REMEMBER TO WWW.SHARE.TRAVEL
Tv and Internet can be great but just think how often they make you lazy and are a source of excuse
from becoming a spontaneous one. Fight free and detox yourself.
7. #5 STOP WAITING
TRAVEL, BE OPEN-MINDED, DREAM & REMEMBER TO WWW.SHARE.TRAVEL
Stop waiting for the perfect time – don’t postpone the things that you want to do. We live to much in the scheme
of – I will do it later. Procrastinating is no good but when it comes to putting off your dreams it’s forbidden!
8. #6 START WITH LITTLE STEPS
TRAVEL, BE OPEN-MINDED, DREAM & REMEMBER TO WWW.SHARE.TRAVEL
You don’t have to bungee jump at once – just do take little steps every now and then. Start with
adding extra twist to your activities. Do something others consider stupid and laugh in their face!
9. #7 EXAMINE YOUR TRAVEL DREAMS
TRAVEL, BE OPEN-MINDED, DREAM & REMEMBER TO WWW.SHARE.TRAVEL
Were all your travel choices your dreamed ones? Maybe some of them were a result of a compromise
you no longer should tolerate. Travel where YOU want to, not where others think it’s good to travel!
10. #8 GET LOST FOR A WHILE
TRAVEL, BE OPEN-MINDED, DREAM & REMEMBER TO WWW.SHARE.TRAVEL
Start with your own town. Coming back from work chose another route. Take a look around, walk and explore the
new territory. Do the same when traveling – go off the beaten track where tourist mindlessly follow the herd!
11. #9 TALK TO STRANGERS
TRAVEL, BE OPEN-MINDED, DREAM & REMEMBER TO WWW.SHARE.TRAVEL
Don’t be affraid to ask questions, make conversations and start new friendships. It only seems hard in
the beginning. Learn that most strangers are not hostile and they want to get to know you, too.
12. #1O DO THE THINGS YOU FEAR
TRAVEL, BE OPEN-MINDED, DREAM & REMEMBER TO WWW.SHARE.TRAVEL
It’s not easy but pays off well – examine the fear, try to rationalise it. It will soon become your habit to enter
the “danger zone”. And the things we fear the most usually are the ones we love the most in the end.
13. HELLO FELLOW TRAVELER
Travel World Passport has been created by people hungry to discover the world. We have formed a web framework to
save travel memories. It was born out of continuous search for inspiration. While we appreciate the satisfaction
exploration brings, we have a strong conviction that the when looking for true inspiration, we often found it difficult
information available online was scattered and often inaccessible.
The most valuable and remarkable travel inspiration and information is available on travel blogs, but for those who do
not follow them on a regular basis it is hard to keep track of. Our mission is now to gather the most valuable, relevant
and useful travel content in one place, where it is indexed and easily searchable.
So for those, who are not satisfied with the way travel content is being presented online our product is a web
framework to save and digest travel information around the stories of real travelers. It provides the necessary
inspiration and contains information to start your journey. Our belief is that travel is about the feeling and the
experiences, not the place. Those thoughts and believes are reflected in all the aspects of our work. And that feeling
inspires us to be free, travel and do great things. We hope it will inspire you, too.
