Travel Tidbits - Travel and Inspiration

Entrepreneur Tadeo (Tad) Negrete is an avid traveler who can share his insight on how traveling can help you grow mentally and spiritually. He often shares his adventures on his personal Instagram page . 

Whether you’re going solo, in a group with friends or with family, packing your bag and seeing something new could be a life-changing experience.

I had a chance to interview him to learn more.

  • How can travel contribute to spiritual exploration? Travel can contribute to spiritual growth by opening your mind to different cultures and beliefs. Traveling with an open mind and focusing on respecting various beliefs has helped me connect more deeply with my own beliefs and develop a more empathetic mindset. All religions are good and promote being a better human being.

  • When someone is traveling to a different country, how can they be aware of and adapt to different cultural norms? When traveling to a different country, I always do research on the culture and beliefs to ensure I’m culturally aware of my surroundings and as a sign of respect for their beliefs. Before traveling to the UAE and Egypt, I studied the traditions and beliefs to ensure I could connect with their culture. Another thing I always do is connect with people, whether it be Uber/taxi drivers or hotel workers. I always like to strike up a conversation to get to know them and their stories. These two practices have helped me adapt to different cultures more deeply.

  • What are some ways travel has inspired you? Travel has inspired me in all aspects of my life, from my ongoing efforts to become a better human being to my designs in clothing, shoes, and gun art. Travel has the power to change your life if you approach it with an open mind.

  • How can people plan their own inspiring travel experiences? People can inspire their own travel experiences by being creative and thoroughly researching their destinations. Approaching each location as a learning opportunity with an open mind has the power to be transformative in your life. 

Tad is the owner of Galeria Tres Art Studio, a new contemporary art studio in Tuscon, Arizona. He is also the creative director of the independent clothing line Statues of Limitations. Let me know if you would be interested in connecting with Tad on this topic or any similar coverage you may be working on.
