The Transformative Travel Guide People Kept Asking Me For

In this episode of Between Here and Benin, I share the story behind a guide I finally made after being asked the same question twice, and finding myself with nothing good to send.

Transformative travel is gaining traction in the industry, but the research behind it lives almost entirely in academic journals and doctoral dissertations. This guide brings it out into the open, in accessible language, for the people who are actually building experiences.

What's inside the guide:

The transformative learning theory, clearly explained.

Mezirow's 10 phases of meaning, with real examples

The five conditions that have to be present for transformation to occur

The Transformative Learning Arc: a four-step framework developed from doctoral research

16 pages. Plain language. A framework you can actually use.
