Last time I commented on the Tips for Meaningful Business Travel that I had just posted here on The Meaningful Traveler. One additional point to note about business travel is that despite the limitations on free time and personal transportation that often are part of a business trip, you can still discover something new.
You just have to make a bit more effort.
Keep in mind that discovery is personal. Not only in the sense that God provides sights and experiences on a trip intended just for you, but also that discovery itself is relative. You may go to a place that thousands or even millions of others have visited before, but that location is still a discovery for you.
Business travel can actually make discovery even more meaningful because you don’t expect it. Sometimes discovery sneaks up on you. You uncover places and sights you didn’t even know existed. And when you do it on a trip where you thought you’d be in meetings the whole time, the experience is all the richer.
One example of this occurred for me a few months ago on a trip to Chicago. I discovered new things and saw familiar sites in new ways.
I’ll let the photos and captions explain what I discovered on this business trip.
