We as individuals are constantly traveling throughout the world, some more often than others and for many different reasons. There are different types of Travelers– Business, Recreational, Professional, Leisure, International, Local, Commuter, and Virtual. You would agree after 9/11 the conveniences of travel have changed dramatically. As Travelers, we run the risk of having our best made travel plans fall apart in an instant through no fault of our own– excessively long check-in points, overbooked flights and hotels, national disasters, cancellations, theft, bad weather, lost luggage, missed connections, security breaches, illness, and mechanical failures.
We believe one of the goals of a Traveler is to avoid a trip with unpleasant mishaps which we affectionately define as Lessons Learned. There are thousands of “to do” guidance, instructional, and educational resources available including books, magazines, websites, TV networks and experts to tell you what to do, how to do it, when to do it, what to buy, and where to find it. Our goal is simple–to help you achieve your goals, reduce stress, and save time and money by learning what “not to do” when traveling or making plans to travel.
In these tough times, with record high job losses, home foreclosures, business closings, natural disasters, and an economic meltdown, even the smallest mistakes we make can be exacerbated and have a lasting and devastating effect. This is a critical time for us to focus on lessening and avoiding mistakes. Learning what not to do from others can have a positive impact on how we respond to situations and the outcome. We are inspired to create this platform for individuals to share their real-life Lessons Learned because we believe one of the best ways to overcome a mistake is by helping others avoid them.
To our Readers– we all make promises to never make the same mistake twice. But as time progresses we can’t remember all of the things we’d never do again– until it’s too late. Learning what not to do in good times and bad can help you avoid stress and ruins mistakes can create.
To our Contributors– what a great feeling to know we’ve made a difference and positive impact in someone else’s life. We are changing the way we approach learning and acquire knowledge by focusing on what not to do and making a concerted effort to avoid gaffes. If you previously shared a Lesson Learned–Thank You.
