'OOBER' trips

This topic is about finding creative ways to enjoy the wonders of travel without the stress and challenges that can come with it, especially for those with a stoma. The idea is to use imagination, humorously referred to as "OOBER" (Out-Of-Body-Experiences Recorded), to "teleport" to different places in your mind. This approach helps avoid the hassles of physical travel, such as dealing with stoma supplies and other travel-related stressors. Here are some helpful insights and advice related to this concept:

1. The author has created a series of playful poems that explore this imaginative travel concept, with future pieces planned to include family-assisted "virtual" trips to places like Mull island.

2. If you're interested in exploring imaginative travel further, consider reading Jack London’s book "The Star Rover" (also known as "The Jacket" in the UK). It delves into the idea of traveling through imagination, which aligns well with the OOBER concept.

3. For a virtual travel experience, watching programs from National Geographic, Nature, or the Knowledge Network can be a great way to explore new places from the comfort of your home. This can help you avoid the practical challenges of physical travel, such as finding restrooms or managing stoma supplies in unfamiliar environments.

4. It's perfectly okay to explore topics beyond ostomy-related ones. Imaginative or technology-assisted travel can be particularly meaningful for those who find physical travel difficult, offering a way to experience the world without leaving home.
