Samenvatting:

Travel upends more than our habits : it challenges our deepest assumptions. In Understanding Culture Shock in Travel, published by Publisher : Five Minutes in the Collection : REGARDS CROISÉS, the author explains why the experience of unfamiliarity can be as disorienting as it is educational. Drawing on recent research and testimonies from 2024 2025, the book describes the phases of culture shock, its causes (cultural distance, opposing values, language barriers) and its effects on identity and mental health. Practical advice - preparing for difference, building a network, practising self care and benefiting from intercultural training - enables readers to transform discomfort into a learning opportunity. The book also addresses reverse culture shock on returning home and trends in digital nomadism. This clear, well documented guide demonstrates that successfully managing culture shock is an essential asset in a globalised world. Dare to cross your boundaries : this inner journey will enrich you as much as your destination.
