The Method

How It Works

  1. Choose one card from each envelope

    Select one mission from each of the five categories before or during your trip.

  2. Bring your missions with you

    Let the prompts guide small experiences throughout your trip.

  3. Come home with a fuller experience

    Five simple missions create stories, memories, and moments beyond the itinerary.

A Sample Set

What one trip's five cards look like

One card drawn from each envelope, chosen in about two minutes. Carry them with you and complete them in any order, on any day.

Five sample mission cards, one from each envelope: Care, Connection, Culture, Curiosity, and Delight

These are 5 sample cards representing your missions for a trip. Each category contains 50 unique missions, so no two trips draw the same set.
Cards contain reflection prompts and adaptations to ensure missions can be enjoyed in a variety of settings; big cities to small, vacations to staycations.
