Numerology, dates and numbers can give us profound insight in to our lives and true purpose on this planet.  Numbers are the hidden codes to life, whether it be love, business, friendship, health, spirituality or even travel, and this is what we will be looking at here.

I have put it in the most simplest form so that you can get instant benefit of what destinations will suit you and where you should travel.  Firstly, a guide has been provided to help you to work out your own numbers from your birth date.  Once you know this, the rest is easy!

Simply add together all of the numbers in your birth date, then reduce that sum down to a single digit.  These single digits are called Life Lesson numbers and they range from 1 to 9 plus the Master Numbers 11, 22, 33 and 44 which are not reduced to a single digit.  These numbers have special importance, however we won’t go in to that here.

To find your Life Lesson number apply this simple calculation to your birth date.  Example: Date of Birth 11.3.1975 = 1 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 9 + 7 + 5 = 27 = 2 + 7 = 9.

Life Lesson 1
One people will love places of action, such as climbing, swimming, hiking, sports, parties and thrill seeking.  They prefer an active schedule, so definitely no boring itinerary or too much rest and relaxation.  Active and busy places of the world or countries that add up to a number one will suit you.  Vatican City, Hong Kong, India, Pakistan, Egypt and Turkey are ideal destinations just to name a few.

Life Lesson 2
Two people are more subdued and family orientated.  They prefer private and intimate destinations or fun places for the whole family to enjoy.  Rainforest retreats or cooler climates where you can cuddle up by the fire will appeal.  Even better if friends or family can come too and it will be a highlight for them that is not to be missed. Travel to Jamaica, Germany and France will see you bonding in no time.

Life Lesson 3
Three people are outgoing and like to travel to places of fun and entertainment.  They love the night life, so places like Rio and the Carnivale’ are right up their alley. Good times shared with friends is a must and they tend to have more fun travelling in groups.  Socialising, music, fun, dance will draw them in like a moth to the flame. Threes can get bored on highly structured tours.  They are young at heart and a Contiki Tour to the Greek Islands, or heading off to Australia, Denmark, Nepal, England or even Cambodia will hit the spot.  They will also love the glitz and glamour of Hollywood.

Life Lesson 4
Four people like holidays in the country or travelling to places of importance, history and culture.  Trekking and soul connecting journeys would be ideal.  They need to have a well planned itinerary or be part of a tour that is well organised and steadily paced.  Accommodation would have to be bold, strong and impressive, and their mode of transport would have to be comfortable.  Destinations such as United States, Italy, Samoa, Lebanon, Rome, Greece, Egypt are sure to impress.

Life Lesson 5
Five people are the true travellers and are often in and out of planes and visiting different countries.  They have a restless and adventurous nature, and are fond of travelling in style and comfort.  Five people often enter career fields within the travel industry, be it pilots, flight attendants or even travel agents so its in their blood. They tend to travel more than any other number but they also enjoy it the most.  They love places of adventure, luxury and of course with plenty of good food and drink.  High spots for them are America, New York, Hollywood, Finland, Niagara Falls, Oktoberfest.

Life Lesson 6
Six people will go to places of beauty (New Zealand), fashion (Milan) or romance (Paris).  Shopping jaunts in Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand will excite them, however a visit to the Cannes Film Festival and dressing up for the event will be something they treasure for years.  They are the hopeless romantics so travelling to the Whitsundays or the Amalfi Coast will get their hearts pumping.  Canada, Bali, Sicily and Mexico are destinations that will also attract them.

Life Lesson 7
Seven people love fast-moving and exciting destinations that offer fun, variety and something different.  Travelling with equally bright and active people will make their experience even better, and visiting places of learning ( Cambridge ) or technology ( Silicon Valley and Tokyo ) will appeal.  Dull places are definitely off the list though. Working out an itinerary and discovering untold treasures is really something that will peak their interest.  Unpredictability is one of their most noticeable traits so they will turn up just about anywhere.  They are naturally curious so will enjoy anything unusual or off the beaten track such as Philippines, Greece, Norway, South Korea and Tokyo.

Life Lesson 8
Eight people are drawn to the best places and accommodation on offer.  Anything opulent or expensive with draw them in like moths to the flame.  They don’t mind paying for it as long as it is good, and pampering (massage, day spa) is high on their list.  They may have money, but they certainly don’t waste it often preferring to look for bargains (and they love to barter!).  They will usually buy holiday gifts and mementos to take home so Mexico , Europe, Istanbul, China, The America’s, Tahiti, Hawaii or Morocco are sure-fire winners.

Life Lesson 9
Nine people love places to get away to.  Desert islands, romantic rainforests, country retreats and even spiritual havens are high on their wish lists.  They are drawn to water and places with water aspects.  Ocean cruises, snorkelling and diving are ideal for them.  Cruises on the Rhine or spending time in Micronesia will instantly melt away the pressures of life and restore them.  Travelling to Malaysia, Paris and Holland will definitely lift their spirits and revitalise them.

Remember, these destinations will be even better when you are travelling to them in a world year cycle that adds up to the same number.  For example the year 2009 adds up to an 11 – 2, so travelling to Jamaica (which also adds up to an 11 – 2) will be even better during that time.  This becomes even more beneficial if you are also a Life Lesson 11 – 2.

As you can see numerology is easy to use and you might just be surprised at the destinations that turn up when you noticing the numbers.  Some places that might suit your life lesson number may not excite you, but keep trying and some of your favourite places WILL undoubtedly turn up.  Perhaps it will be in a city or country that you have always dreamed of.
