Requisitos

1

Hacer una lista de la mayor cantidad de medios de transporte que pueda pensar que usa la gente viajar alrededor de todo el planeta. Reducir la lista anterior a los «primeros cinco» más común de los modos de transporte. Hacer una lista de los pros y los contras de cada uno de los «primeros cinco».

2

Hacer una lista de algunos de los pros y los contras de las siguientes clases de alojamiento:

2a

Hotel/motel

2b

Hostal juvenil

2c

Amigos/familia

2d

Casa rodante/remolque/campamento

2e

Complejos turísticos

3

¿Qué clase de documentación puede ser necesaria para el viaje? Explicar el propósito de cada clase de documento.

4

Ver un programa de viaje que muestra paisajes y la geografía de un lugar único.

The Globe Trekker travelogue program airs in the United States on many PBS stations. You can also find travelogues on websites such as Hulu, or on DVD at various retail outlets and local libraries.

AdventSource sells an Adventist-produced travelogue video series created specifically for this honor, called "The Nature of God in Nature". There are currently two episodes: Hawaii and The Lake District. Both come with English and Spanish audio options.

5

Discutir en grupo qué clase de actitud deben tener los viajeros al viajar al extranjero.

Some ideas to get the discussion going:

1. Respect for the culture. Every country and culture is different, your culture is not better than the one you are visiting.

2. Respect for religion. Learn about the dominant religion and try not to offend in how you dress, talk or act.

3. Expect the unexpected!

4. If everything was the same as what you are used to at home, what is the point of travel?

5. Be safety aware but do not assume everyone is out to get you. Most people are honest and want to treat you nicely.

6. Learn a few words in the local language. Trying to speak the local language will make people respect you more and shows respect for your hosts.

7. Try to eat local - you will get a lot more from your trip. I have seen Americans stick to McDonalds and Chinese stick to Chinese food, and thus miss out on the great experiences to be gained. Did you know pizza in Venice tastes nothing like Pizza Hut, or that fortune cookies do not exist in China?

8. Try to talk to local people, not just sightsee. People are a big part of the reason to travel and understand your world.

What are some other attitudes we should show when traveling?

6

Crear un plan de viaje sencillo de siete días para unas «vacaciones en familia». Como parte del plan, crear un viaje planificado de siete días que debe incluir (nota: el primer y último día pueden ser días de viaje):

6a

Los detalles sobre un lugar histórico para visitar

6b

Detalles en dos sitios naturales para visitar

6c

Los detalles sobre un sitio de recreación para visitar

Note: the first and last days may be travel days

7

Hacer una lista de varias formas en que la gente viajaba en los tiempos bíblicos.

In Bible times there were not many options for getting around. People either walked, rode on an animal (donkey, horse, camel), rode in a cart or wagon pulled by an animal, or took a boat or a ship to their destination. Rich people had a few more options including being carried on a litter (an item of furniture mounted on poles and carried by a team of people), or riding in a chariot.

8

Calcular aproximadamente cuánto tiempo se tardaría a pie entre Jerusalén y Damasco.

Depending on the route taken, the distance between Jerusalem and Damascus is anywhere between 300km and 240 km. It's probably safe to assume that the longer of these distances is the most accurate.

Long-distance hikers can cover about 50 km in a day. However, in order for them to do this, they must be in top condition traveling over easy terrain. A well-seasoned hiker can cover 25 km per day, every day, for an extended period of time. We should assume the lower of these two figures.

From this information, we can calculate that it would take on the order of [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{300km}{25km/day} = 12\ days }[/math] to cover that distance.

9

Esbozar un mapa de un viaje mencionado en la Biblia (nota: puede que tenga que adivinar lógicamente algunos aspectos de la información si no se mencionan directamente en las Escrituras):

9a

Mostrar el nombre de las personas y los caminos incluyendo paradas notables realizadas

9b

Mostrar las diferentes clases de líneas para cada modo de transporte adoptado

9c

Mostrar una leyenda/clave para la identificación de marcas y clases de transporte

Note: You may have to logically guess some aspects of the information if not mentioned directly in scripture.

• Abram trip to Canaan or Egypt
• Jesus and family flight to Egypt
• Children of Israel Exodus from Egygt
• Paul's missionary journeys
• Jonah's travels
• Ezra or Nehemiah's travels

If this honor is being earned in a group session, it would be nice to have each Pathfinder select a different person/group and route to research and present to the class at the next meeting. Online maps would be a good start to relate the story of the Biblical trip to modern borders and cities. This should be a learning experience and perhaps the Pathfinder will have the opportunity to follow the same path in person someday.
