A Narrative Inquiry: Self-awareness of Overseas Self-service Tour Adversities / 海外自助旅行逆境的自我覺察之敘說研究

碩士 / 銘傳大學 / 教育研究所碩士在職專班 / 107 / The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the possibility of a whole new style of living discovered through being aware of myself, accepting new experiences, and by narrating my own adversities through the narration of several overseas self-service tour that I didn’t wish to disclose at the cost of personal comfort. The method this study employs is the self-narrative inquiry approach, and describes not only the travelling adversities I encountered myself but also the interview of the partners who went through the adversities together. These interviews also included others who are deemed as backpacking travel experts. In the process of narrating the travel experiences, I found myself beleaguered with strong perfectionist personality tendencies. This observation derived from realizing that I strived for admiration and identification while carrying out my travel plans, and also cared too much about the comments from others. I was also too preoccupied by the so called “the perfect itinerary” and hid my true feelings from my travelling companions while travelling overseas. In addition, I couldn’t feel at ease about my weaknesses so I evaded facing the real problems by erecting a metaphysical armor around myself to alienate my true self from others. During the endeavor of the research, it showed that if we could embrace the fact that the yearning for perfection as an imperfection is a natural part of us and lead our lives honestly, we will have much more empathy toward others and ourselves. This will in turn make use feel peace in mind even though we aren’t perfect.
