Crystal Clear: Why Travel and Crystals Make the Perfect Match
When I went travelling overseas for several months in my late twenties, I was aware of the need to bring a few of my trusted crystal companions with me on my adventures.
Travel is exciting, and also can be stressful at times, with the navigation of airports, new cultures and environments, as well as anxiety around flying or entering the unknown.
Travelling can also be a wonderfully transformative experience that opens up new horizons and awakens our senses. And guess what? Crystals share a similar mission!
