Whether you're planning future travels or exploring the diverse cultures in your own community, Crossing Boundariesprovides strategies for growth and getting out of your comfort zone. Moving between inspirational stories, humorous anecdotes, and helpful conflict resolution tips, Abu Sarah guides you through having personal, meaningful experiences with people from different backgrounds.He sketches a vision of a kind of travel with the power to help heal the divides of a world polarized by seemingly intractable conflicts.
Abu Sarah argues that transformative travel can start at home. He knows this firsthand: a former Palestinian radical, he shares hisown moving story of creating connections across his divided hometown of Jerusalem, andof co-founding a tour agency with a Jewish American.Today, they direct Dual Narrative Tours, co-led by guides from different communities in countries like Israel and Palestine, Ireland and Northern Ireland, North and South Vietnam, and many others.
Drawing on these experiences, Abu Sarah's book offers tips on how to meet people naturally and safely, design an inclusive itinerary, shop to support the local economy, deal with setbacks, and much more. A guide for going beyond museums and monuments, this book is for both the first-timer and seasoned veteran. Abu Sarah shows that if you put down your phone and strike up a conversation, you can break through the walls that separate people. You'll discover shared values, build lasting relationships, and realize that far more unites us than divides us.
