What is 5Senses Traveling?
If you love traveling as much as I do, you know that when you travel, you learn so much. Consequently, you can enhance how much you learn by immersing yourself in something new for all 5 senses. This type of travel isn’t any different from traveling, but it’s an AWARENESS that you can learn more if you are willing to allow yourself the opportunity to learn.

What are the 5 senses?
Sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell
What does this mean?
This means we as humans use the 5 senses to collect information about our environment that is interpreted by the brain.
What does this have to do with a hotel?
A hotel that understands this creates hotel experiences that work in the same way.

A hotel that understands this will be more than a hotel. They’ve made a commitment to you. They’ve created a whole world. They use pen and paper to communicate with you. The staff knows your name. They’ve made your room feel like home. Your special breakfast arrives just on time. The bartender knows your favorite drink and each room is hidden with little details. Yep, they nailed it on the head.
Then there are the details with a meaning and story.
You’re touching silk bedding that’s been handmade. Weaving techniques used by the culture more than 200 years ago.
A key with a tassel your room key. How does that feel in your bag as you sightsee?

They’ve created their own signature scent that runs through the corridors reminding you it’s created just for you.
They’ve teamed up with locals and the paintings and ceramics carefully placed around the hotel are there supporting local art clubs and artists.
They serve food that’s been inspired by local cuisines and chefs who appreciate and accentuate that. What new herbs, spices, and food combinations are you willing to let yourself taste to learn more about culture and culinary traditions?

So often I hear stories of people traveling and coming back without having learned something new, without allowing themselves to learn more and give themselves more knowledge and education to expand and broaden their minds.

You see, when you stay in the same environment, how can you grow? All you know is limited to what’s around you. The more you submerge yourself into the unknown, the more you learn. It pains me to hear stories of people traveling all over the world and they only ate at the typical McDonalds or fast food chains in fear of “new.”
Hotels that understand the concept of “hotel experience” know that you can transform a guest. You can evoke feelings and emotions that leave them not only wanting more but coming back. These hotels are hotel gems. This is why I have this blog. The next time you want to travel, remember this and think about all the self-love available to you give yourself.
