Traveler's notes


Any journey is about:
1. new places with new tastes of food and drinks,
2. strange speech and sounds,
3. unfamiliar colors of views,
4. unknown flavor or smells,
5. you skin has weird feelings
all five senses are working in unusual way.

And only smart journey has the "sixth sense", which brings deeper sense. By this 6thS I mean some components usually hidden in simple "cross-the-boarder" procedure. I called it smart because of following:

LEARNING. One of the ways to grow (in any area) is to take as notes good-cases-practice (GCPs) - something that is working well and brings expected results in another country, company, whatever. By travelling it's easy to get such GCPs and bring home (for sure it should not blind copy-paste), but our country still has a lot of things to learn how to do and we all need to learn. They say, we learn from each other, indeed, it's possible to enrich your personality with how many useful tips - different attitudes and habits.


EXAMINE yourself. You never had and will never have such an exam at school or university, as you is examined of being in status of alien-tourist. It's more life test on all subject than any ЗНО/ЕГЭ/ SAT/etc. From simple language test (and English is not the way out for taxi-drivers or elder generation in majority of countries). Logic; navigation, negotiation and analytic skills; math to convert cross-rate)); memory training,  ans so on.

ANALYSE yourself.  Walking around the cities, staying alone or being in the company, in new conditions - it's possible to take a look on yourself, review you goals and values for your life. Find some additional internal power to grow.

And all this "smart travelling" about development, exploring and learning is only possible if you are ready to bring home knowledge in addition to standard "for-social-media" photo album.

To all this things I'm going to dedicate this page in my blog. So welcome and enjoy it.
