Thinking Travel

I created ThinkingTravel.com about a year ago as a new way to explore the intersection between travel, journaling, and culture (learning). I had just completed my dissertation research on culture learning during short-term study abroad and wanted to gather and share ideas, insights, and tips on how to become a more culturally aware and effective traveler – both at home and abroad.

Early on I decided to give myself 2007 to tinker with the blog, read other blogs, and simply figure out where I wanted to go with ThinkingTravel.com (I’m definitely a trial-and-error/learn-as-you-go type of person).

Now that we’re on the cusp of 2008, I’ve decided to recommit myself to ThinkingTravel.com. My goal for the coming months is to take ThinkingTravel.com to that proverbial next level, whatever that level may be.

New Posting Schedule

In the coming weeks I’m instituting several blog enhancements. Getting on a regular posting schedule is the first one. Here’s the plan.

ThinkingTravel.com is fuel for your journey to becoming a more reflective and effective traveler – at home and abroad.

To this end, I document my own journeys: travel, journaling, cultural, and being a first-time home owner. I also gather and share insights, tips, and resources to help others on their journeys.

I post at least three times a week. And I encourage your involvement in ThinkingTravel.com – leave a comment, share your ideas, provide feedback, subscribe!    

I’m mulling over several other ideas for this blog (series topics, interviews, podcasts…), which I’ll roll out in the coming year.
