Have Your Own Eat Pray Love Moment With a Solitary Getaway of Self Discovery

Modern corporate life can be hard and tiresome, and we all look for that small outlet or moment when we break through to bring about a change in our lives. Different reasons bring it about, for some it's divorce for others a change of career and then there are those who have achieved everything except balance of mind with body. Luckily for us, travel websites have realised the new trend and give you a chance at your own Eat, Pray, Love moment.

In the book/movie however, Elizabeth Gilbert travels for a year across three countries and since most of us don't have that kind of time or money, a little tweaking to the whole self discovery plan is required.

You can have your own solitary getaway in one place or maybe two if you are feeling generous and still emerge happy and satisfied. A simple concept laid out in the original book has its roots in the balance of mind and body and so, as Elizabeth Gilbert points out, the process starts with healthy and pleasurable eating.

Naturally, the most popular choices to embark on a self discovery trip would be India, Japan and Thailand where everything can be achieved in one place.

Bangkok

Thailand has in recent years become a popular destination with tourists for various reasons. Food is a massive part of your experience in Bangkok so eat away and treat your taste buds to the overwhelming flavours of Thai curries and grilled meat. With a satiated tummy you can continue your search for spiritualism in numerous temples like Rattanakosin and surrounding areas. You can then go ahead and fall in love with the serenity of the beaches and city life while taking advantage of the cheapest Bangkok Hotel Deals .

Japan

Their healthy food is widely popular with people from all backgrounds; spiritualism is in abundance in the country owing to its numerous holy places of which Kyoto hosts the majority and it is no secret that leisure and relaxation is an art the Japanese have mastered.

India

A land of wonders, worship, peace, love and celebration, there is little one can't find in India. Its love for food, festival and leisure is world famous. So where would one start their eat, pray, love journey in India you ask? There isn't a city or place in the country that isn't famous for some dish and the variety of food one would find in the North changes drastically while travelling to the South and the same goes for East to West. Rajasthan, Delhi, Chennai and of course coastal areas are popular for their food to name but a few.

Places of worship line every street and corner in India owing to the rich diversity of religion there and some are world renowned - the Golden Temple being one of them. People gather together in prayer with all their heart and the sight is enough to move anyone. And if one can pray then they can love. Although in the book/ movie, love comes in the end it is actually self discovery which is the secret behind the whole process and the reason one started out on this journey in the first place.

Travelling is the best route of self discovery so put yourself first and take a trip this year to come back refreshed in both body and mind.
