… Our favourite excuse to peruse and choose some items that will enhance the wayfaring experience!
Specifically: notebooks, packing bags, and a protocol for an off-grid mindset.
Trek, journey, trip, tour, you name it, we like it. We need a 6-month holiday twice a year. As this is sadly impossible, we’ll take the school holidays coming up…
Follow on? Sure, you do.
Take a leaf out of the travel journalers’ book. Or better yet, just be a person who jots down the name of that cool-looking coffee place that you saw while on the back of a rickshaw. Note the bird of local interest you spied nesting in a banyan tree. Sketch the heritage river running through the hike you set off from at 6 am. Do all this and more, with the:

Travel therapy cards
A concept brought to you by The School of Life.
Going travelling can be one of life's greatest activities - but often, we fail to deepen the experience as much as we should and return home with some of the promise of our trip unrealised.
This pack of cards is designed to help us get the very best out of travel - and to embed its greatest lessons in our minds.
The cards contain questions that we can reflect on ourselves (in a journal or on a train ride) or ask others in a group, and that lead us to think deeply about how we might derive maximal satisfaction from a trip.
This is an ingenious, low-tech, high-impact solution to one of the great conundrums of travel: how to ensure that the reality of going away will match our hopes.
Reflection, analysis and conversation! Not to mention a deck that could even be used - at a pinch - to make a house (of cards) if your flight gets delayed...
Voyage, Roam, Wander, Pilgrimage.
Remember these clear and favourite choices. Your holidays, school or otherwise, will thank you for it xx
