How to cultivate an explorer mindset—whether you're traveling or not (E32)

From Sumplace New: The Long-Term Travel Podcast

The longer we travel, the more we're inspired to keep traveling. Jon asks Karen a surprise question: What would it take to stop you from traveling? Her answer spurs a conversation around the explorer mindset, and that cultivating one encourages a desire for more exploration. Just like the first sentence above says. Travel begets travel. Exploring begets exploring, whether it's in your home town or the other side of the planet. Doing something that stimulates curiosity regularly is a basis for transformation. Before we get all Indiana Jones, we discuss our amazing three-day trip around Scotland's North Coast 500, one of the most breathtaking drives we've ever experienced. From rolling hills and sheep galore to windswept sandy beaches and craggy coastline lighthouses to rugged mountains and highland moors, the North Coast 500 is a must-do for anyone visiting Scotland. And we need to thank the desk agent at the Inverness Airport Eurocar rental counter. As usual, we didn't have set plans and asked for his recommendation from among the Isle of Skye, ferrying to the Orkney Islands or traveling the North Coast 500 mile trip. In his words: Forget Skye and do the North Coast 500. Done.
