Whether it’s a two-week vacation to a far-off land or a simple weekend getaway to the city, travel enriches our lives and leaves us with lasting experiences and memories. As you may recall, we started the Many Ways to MOVA blog series to talk about the different ways you can use the MOVA Globe in your daily life. Now that summer is in full swing, we discuss three simple ways you can use our globes to fuel your wanderlust.

See and know the world

Before you embark on an adventure, try to be a cultured traveler. You can use your MOVA Globe as a starting point to familiarize yourself with a region. Locate your destination on your globe and note the location and the cities, countries, and geography around it. Take the time to do some research on these areas and learn more about the unique character of the region: the famous and ‘local’ food and drink, the historical landmarks, the cultural traditions and events. We find that the more you know about the place you are traveling to, the more connected you will feel to it.

Find relaxation and reflection after seeing the world

MOVA Globes are meant to happily reside in your home, and we believe that you can enjoy your MOVA Globe after your travels. When you return home from a trip, you can place your MOVA Globe beside you and let its soothing rotation work its magic while you clear your mind and recharge. This allows you to better process your journey and remember it as a positive experience. Reflect on what you learned and gained by experiencing the place firsthand and compare it to the plans you made in the first tip above.

Inspire your future travels

As your journey comes to an end, you will undoubtedly experience some post-trip blues. The simplest remedy is to look forward to the next adventure. Make a list of dream destinations – including places you have already been – and hang it on the wall. Place your list next to your favorite souvenirs, travel photos, and your MOVA Globe. By assembling souvenirs, a bucket list, and a rotating globe, you will not only remember your best travel moments but also ensure that you continue to pursue your goals of seeing the world.
