UNCHARTED
—Kathleen Rellihan
Whatever your religion—if any—or how you choose to observe, in today’s plugged-in and stressed-out times, an introspective journey can offer travelers a chance to spend time reflecting in nature. While any hike can be transformative, traveling the same path as others makes these intentional, soul-searching pilgrimages more than simply walks in beautiful places. Follow in the footsteps of Buddhist monks in Japan or a revered Viking king in Scandinavia or seek a shaman’s healing in ice-cold lagoons in Peru.
