ABSTRACT

This study analyzes the travel writings of Connor Woodman, a corporate management expert who documented his pursuit of self-development during a global journey. Through an examination of his narrative, the study highlights the significance of travel-driven personal growth for individuals seeking to thrive as leaders in an increasingly competitive world. Woodman’s journey illustrates how exploring local cultures with the curiosity of an adventurer can enhance commercial acumen and improve business outcomes. Rather than focusing on leisure, pleasure, or rest, his travelogue centers on diverse cultural experiences directly connected to commercial exchange. The enduring respect accorded to explorers and pilgrims today stems from their commitment to experiencing core life values across the globe while contributing to social advancement. By incorporating vivid illustrations, Woodman’s travelogue effectively captures the dynamic atmosphere of commercial interactions and supports the spread of a self-development-oriented travel culture, benefiting both industry professionals and contemporary readers. To popularize such self-development travel in Korean society, more in-depth research and supportive policy frameworks will be essential.
