Travel essentials . . .

Whether one travels around the corner or to Africa - the most travel essential to bring is an open heart,  The ability to practice human kindness, an intention to build bridges of understanding, and the willingness to be transformed. 

To be good travellers we must seek beauty in the everyday, being fluid and flexible. The capacity to ebb and flow, to permeate the hidden and unreachable places, to carve our own path through the unfamiliar obstacles . . . to change course when needed and the willingness to be changed as well.

As travellers it is essential but perhaps they are just important in out daily lives. While joy is contagious so is fear, so I am increasingly mindful in sharing and showing as much joy as possible and courage when faced with fear or unknown.

I hope that when embarking on the world, or just outside your door, that you reach out and embrace all that is unfamiliar and create meaningful connections, there is no barrier to kindness and friendship. The ability to view the other in new ways.

I continue allowing myself to be changed to make progress and may some of the experiences I share remind you of the magic of other places, people and the timeless gift of storytelling and sharing our lives with each other.

I invite you to take a journey, in the best adventure of all, the journey that is your life!
