THE INNER JOURNEY
In addition to working with you on designing the perfect Outer Journey travel experiences for you (you can learn more about how we plan our extraordinary adventures here), we also offer guidance and support as you embark on your Inner Journey of travel. Below, you can find some of the ways we work with our travelers to help them embark on this Inner Journey and make the most of their adventures. As with almost anything in life, the more you put into your Journey, the more you will get from it!
Travel Mentorship
Included in every travel experience we plan for you is the opportunity to chat with one of our Travel Mentors before and after your adventure to help you make the most of your Journey. These ‘Travel Mentorship’ calls are truly at the heart of the Heroic Journey.
Before you go, you and your Mentor will discuss best practices on how to ‘Travel Better’; together, you’ll also walk through our Inner Journey Toolkit & Guide and our other amazing resources and tools (see below for more info!). When you get home, you’ll share all that you experienced and learned on your trip and create a plan for making simple but meaningful changes in your life — for ‘Living Better’!
The Inner Journey Toolkit & Guide
This toolkit is a carefully curated collection of materials designed to guide you in making the most of your adventures.
+ Our best practices for Mindful Travel
+ How to ‘Travel like a Hero’
+ Tools for helping you to prepare for both the Inner and Outer Journeys
+ A detailed list of reflection questions and exciting challenges for you to do every day
+ A daily travelogue to help you capture what you did, who you met, and what you learned
+ Resources for taking inspired actions when you get home
Coaches, Experts, & Consultants
We’ve partnered with a diverse team of life, career, and relationship coaches and experts to give you the opportunity to work 1:1 with them before, during, and/or after your Journey. From helping you get into shape for your adventure ahead to working with you to implement small but powerful changes in your life once you get home, these coaches can help you turn a great trip into a truly life-changing travel experience!
Mastermind Groups
Launching in early 2022, every traveler will be invited to join our monthly Mastermind Group hosted by Explorer X co-founders Michael Bennett, Ed.D., and Jake Haupert. Discussions will revolve around best practices for both the Inner and Outer Journey, sharing stories, successes, and challenges, and offering support to one another in our individual and collective journeys.
Recommended ‘Live Better’ Resources
We’ll share with you some of our favorite tools and resources — ones that we use on a daily basis to help us stay inspired, mindful, and purposeful in our lives. These tools/resources range from courses on healthy relationships to online classes about how to eat, sleep, move, and meditate.
