"This book is not so much about where to travel to as it is about how and why to travel, so that travelling becomes a joyful and life-enhancing experience. It is about how to be open, curious and present as you step into the new and unknown, letting go of the need to plan and control. My intention is to inspire you to embrace the sense of freedom that goes with leaving your home behind to step onto the open road with a myriad of possibilities and exciting potential.
"You will be encouraged to step beyond your comfort zone to exciting experiences that allow you to feel your edges and as a consequence feel fully alive; to contemplate what it is that draws you to certain places and people; and to consider how, by travelling, you can learn more about yourself beyond your own culture and conditioned self. I suggest ways to confront the many challenges we may face when we travel, and how to embrace a world (and our own lives) that can be full of paradoxes. I explore what it means to embrace the richness and diversity of life, whilst at the same time feeling the unity of being human. And lastly, I give ideas about how to bring the experience of travelling back home with you — staying open, curious and present to all that is in your daily life."
