A vacation is a great escape from our day-to-day responsibilities, but it is important to keep etiquette top of mind when visiting new destinations and exploring different cultures.
There are right and wrong ways to travel, according to Héctor García and Francesc Miralles, authors of "The Four-Way Path: A Guide to Purushartha and India's Spiritual Traditions for a Life of Happiness, Success, and Purpose."
García and Miralles also wrote the international bestseller, "Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life."
"The purpose of travel is not simply to arrive at your destination and take photos," García and Miralles wrote. A trip outside of your home should leave you a more empathetic person "with a more global and humane perspective," they said.
García and Miralles propose you be a "spiritual traveler." "A real trip is a transformative experience," García and Miralles wrote. "After this kind of trip, we return home as different people."
Here are the 10 rules they say you should follow to have a more purposeful experience when you travel, from their book, "The Four-Way Path."
