# Travel

You do not need a five-year plan. You need one honest beginning and enough curiosity to return tomorrow.

Start small enough that beginning feels almost obvious.

From curious to doing

## Your travel roadmap

4 steps

- Mark "Show up to one thing this week" as done

Today  Step 1

Show up to one thing this week

Even if you don't know anyone. Showing up is 80% — the rest follows.

- Mark "Attend 3 events in a month" as done

This week  Step 2

Attend 3 events in a month

Same community ideally — recurring faces turn strangers into acquaintances faster than variety.

- Mark "Take on a small role" as done

This month  Step 3

Take on a small role

Volunteer to help set up, bring snacks, lead a small piece. Roles accelerate belonging.

- Mark "Host or organize something yourself" as done

3 months  Step 4

Host or organize something yourself

A dinner, a discussion, a small event. You're now contributing, not just attending.

What are you noticing? What worked, what didn't, what to try next…
