Travel Goals

Inspiring Experiences to Transform Your Life

Nick Mee , Ed. Gabby Inness , Illus. David Doran
Designed to encourage ‘a life filled with variety and self-discovery’ the goals compiled in this Lonely Planet guide range from those that are relatively easy to accomplish but rarely undertaken – sleeping under the stars, or volunteering for a local charity – to those that pose more of a challenge, such as crossing a country on foot, paragliding with Harris’s hawks in Spain or experiencing a week of silence at a Zen retreat.

From sleeping under the stars or learning a new craft, to more ambitious challenges like taking a big trip alone, helping to rebuild a community or saving an endangered species, this is your essential companion to a life well-lived.

From the easily attainable to the aspirational, the variety of goals makes it easy to create a set that's right for you.

Every goal is accompanied by recommendations about where to try it, as well as websites and information to ensure each one is achievable.
