Hello everyone! My name is Samantha and I’d like to start this journey by explaining the reasoning behind the name “The Traveling Dragonfly”. The dragonfly itself holds an important meaning to our agency “Dragonfly Journeys Travel Company”. It also has a strong definition “a dragonfly symbolizes change and transformation along with adaptability and self-realization”. The meaning of a dragonfly states “this change is often referred to as the source of mental and emotional maturity and understanding the deeper meaning of life”. Now if you put that together with traveling, and seeing the world, whether it’s by visiting somewhere new or somewhere familiar, you also get that same sense of feeling.
We all take trips with our family, some friends, or even alone. We take them because we are escaping the everyday reality that we associate with. Traveling helps heal the soul, it helps us relax and see everything in a new and different way. We don’t travel to feel like it’s just another work day with a planned schedule or just another day of house chores. Although traveling takes work to plan, we are still making sure we take care of our everyday needs, such as cooking, cleaning up after ourselves, running around, doing dishes even, and possibly laundry. When we are in a new or even a familiar atmosphere that helps us feel like it’s a temporary escape, we feel that sense of change and understanding of the deeper meaning of life through a newer outlook. We all need this time to reflect whether it’s sitting by a pool with a nice cold drink in our hands, or rushing through parks and feeling the adrenaline of multiple park rides. You can be at an all-inclusive resort with no worries and no plans. You can also be at a busy park with a fully planned itinerary for every day. Both help us mentally and emotionally for the time being. Some even say that seeing a dragonfly has a spiritual meaning behind it. Some may say it’s a message from your loved ones, a spirit, or an angel that’s telling you to put an end to all your worry and “live in the joy of the present moment, to lighten up”. Doesn’t going on a vacation help you with all of that? We take journeys for self-realization, the sense of accomplishing something while being on a journey helps us feel like we are on top of the world. Going to an adventurous location with many different hikes and trails can lift a weight from our shoulders. We all know that those are never “easy” but somehow once we get to the top and see the beautiful destination of what it overlooks, we feel a sense of relief. We feel as if we can accomplish anything at that moment. These types of trips help us open our eyes to feeling like we can do anything we set our minds to. It’s a tough go, we feel a sense of exhaustion and almost dehydration at times but once we make that climb and journey, the path leading up to it feels like it was nothing at all. We accomplished it and we overcame the obstacles. A dragonfly flies throughout life in many different ways. Because they can “move and rotate each of the four wings independently” it helps them fly in many directions. Whether that be going up, down, backward, and more. They can fly thousands of miles over oceans, from continent to continent. And when you see a dragonfly fly around you, it’s believed to be a sign of a new beginning, hope, and change. These are often seen to be “ Lucky charms” and we all can enjoy that along with their beauty. So if you would like to escape every day and Travel like a Dragonfly, then come back and follow me to read more about how you can do just that.
