Have you ever asked Google for a “spiritual awakening? If you have, you’re not alone. Every month over 20,000 people in the UK (20,870 to be exact) do exactly that.

In fact, through keyword analysis and online research, PsychicWorld.com discovered not only do 20,870 people a month search the term “spiritual awakening”, they also try a multitude of things to achieve it.

But quite possibly the best thing to do is… travel! Whether it’s traveling to the village next door, or traveling to far flung corners of the Earth, taking a trip broadens the mind unlike anything else. 

With this in mind, PsychicWorld.com sought to uncover the most photogenic spiritual travel destinations the world has to offer*.
