Travel Joy Volume 2

Travel Joy, Volume 2, Implementing the Concept for Global Travel Excellence

This volume is written for the traveler who is eager to move toward destinations, who already understands the why from Volume 1, and who is interested in the where and how. Accordingly, it focuses on the core concepts of implementation: travel destinations and travel style, as well as the phases of execution: planning, visiting, documentation, and travel reflection.
Destinations: selection, definition, and listing. Our list of 6,000 highlights concentrates on essentials and extremes; through this limitation, they become achievable within a lifetime of travel. Highlights are defined objectively through a systematic methodology that is transparent and traceable. Category rankings make the selection process clear.
The renowned UNESCO World Heritage List is fully included in our list. However, 500 World Heritage sites are defined differently, namely as travel destinations rather than protected areas. Where UNESCO contains too many locations, we apply a focused approach. The relationships between the two lists are transparent and compared in detail. The difference in scope and methodology is substantial.
Our world list and five books form a consistent overall concept: Vol. 1 Success Concept, Vol. 2 (this volume) Implementation, Vol. 3 My Life, My Insights, Vol. 4 Role Models, Vol. 5 Training. This work uniquely combines philosophy, the spirit of travel, highlight descriptions, and the Google data world.
Travel style. Boundary-pushing experiences take center stage. Experience means more than the here and now - it encompasses dimensions of the transcendent and of origin. We cover all travel styles within a comprehensive system, yet advocate for a systematic and intensive approach.
Phases of implementation: We clarify the framework conditions and plan in a way that minimizes planning itself, making it globally applicable while keeping highlights at the center. Minimal planning lists stand in stark contrast to what most agents provide, yet they are the key to continuous travel. We minimize form and maximize experience. At the same time, we maintain discipline in daily documentation, daily program reviews, annual records, and a structured system for all files, all designed to integrate seamlessly with one another.
At the end of every journey, we reflect intensively and answer the question of enrichment - for ourselves and for those we visit
