Finding Purpose: Backpacking in Panama
公开 Deposited可下载的内容
open in viewerIn the increasingly competitive world of academics and employment, it can feel like there is a set path you must follow. Backpackers break from this status quo by exploring the world and, in doing so, themselves. By conducting archival research, surveys, interviews, and an ethnography in Panama we investigated the connection between backpacking and developing a sense of purpose. Our findings indicated that, although backpacking does not always directly affect purpose, it does have a positive impact on confidence, worldliness, and independence.
