One benefit of the ROA [[§ 1.4 - Reflect|reflection process]] is that it also provides an excellent opportunity to distill any travel lessons you may have learned from your experience. These might be insights like: - plan an easy day after a long flight, you'll enjoy things more - after trying sea kayaking, I think I'd prefer to learn how to surf - I think I'd love to (do this sort of trip) because of (this aspect of the trip) - Always pack some snacks for tours, since you may not like what food they serve you - I'm more likely to try new things outside my comfort zone if I'm traveling with friends who are willing to do the same I used to keep these buried in my [[Trip dashboard]], but I've since compiled them in a single location that I can easily review when planning a new trip.
