November can be a great time to travel. The excitement of summer vacation seems long past, and the busyness of the Christmas and New Year season isn’t quite upon us.
Traveling the world reminded me how many ways there are to live—and how each place opens something new in you. I remember standing in cities I’d only read about, walking through markets I couldn’t have imagined, hearing languages I didn’t understand but somehow felt. And I remember thinking, “This is what it means to be changed by where you’ve been.”
What stayed with me weren’t just the views or landmarks, but the feelings: awe, wonder, humility, connection. A shared laugh across a language barrier. A still moment watching the sun rise over a temple or a mountain or a quiet street. Each trip left something with me—and gently took something too, like doubt, or rush, or assumption. I came home more open every time.
Whether you're dreaming of ancient cities, remote islands, vibrant cultures, or quiet places to think and feel, these guides are built from real moments around the globe. If you’re ready to go further—not just on a map, but in yourself—this is where your journey begins.
