There’s something about a new start
that emboldens us to think
big, to reinstall the goals we hold dear, and to take that defining first step towards
realizing these dreams. So here we are again, at the threshold of a New Year,
ready to dive into 12 whole months of brand new travel and adventure.
This January, we’re helping you start the ball rolling with
a dozen ideas
for something to try or do differently this year
(
page 50)
.
The
idea is to set clear goals so that it’s easier to score; if you’ve done one or two or
all of the items on our list, you can customize your own and list things you can
challenge yourself with this year.
We’ve also lined up some of the ways you might want to explore the world
beyond our borders — whether as a student, learning the finer points of travel
photography, capturing the stories and the sense of culture through images,
like the traveling shutterbugs in our
Bangkok edition of the Smile
PhotoTreks
(

;
or as a trailblazer, going off the usual tourist grid and
into villages that move at a charmingly unhurried pace
(
page 82)
,
a perfect kind of escape for those who have vowed to dial down their
frenetic ways of living this year.
It doesn’t matter where you go, or how you want to see and experience the
world; the important thing is that you take that first step.
