I know many people don't understand why I love to travel so much. Many think it's too dangerous for me to travel alone. Some are perhaps a little jealous of all the travelling I do and others quite frankly, are simply not interesting in exploring new places.
I have been incredibly lucky with my travels. There haven't been too many hairy stories. Perhaps the worst was our bus driver hitting a motorcyclist in Vietnam or when I was convinced the plane was going to crash when we coming into landing.
Other than a handful of interesting experiences, mostly I've been blessed with good ones.
For me, it's not always about the big things when I travel. Yes I've done some incredible things like skydive, seen the Big Five and played with a sea lion in The Galapogas islands but today I've had a couple of those little moments that mean so much.
Today I was face timing a certainly Italian and I was walking along the beach. This was perfect! Ok perfect would've been Marco with me but after a pretty rough year so far, it was such a nice moment.
The next nice little moment was during my yoga class. I did a fantastic class in a open air studio over looking the beach.
When you're relaxing in a position, seeing the sunset and hearing the waves lapping on the beach and the wind in the palm trees is pure heaven.
I know that won't appeal to so many people but we all lead such hectic lifestyles that sometimes you simply need to stand still and take note.
I understand you shouldn't have to travel to the other side of the world to appreciate all the goodness you have but sometimes walking away puts things into perceptive.
In the yoga studio it had a great sign that said 'Love the life you live, and live the life you love'. I'm finally fully starting to do that.
Namaste.
