To travel humbly makes us like the willow, bending and swaying to the rhythms of the destination, the culture and yourself. Being humble to the moment will test your character, push your buttons, but there will also be moments of great happiness and joy, tears perhaps as your heart is blown wide open because of someone you met, a strangers kindness.
Travel with a sense of wonder, spontaneity, let the day dictate the path. It may change your life🥰

I love this quote, yet it makes me uneasy! I ask myself, could I take a back seat and let the one I am travelling with experience the "said" destination for the first time without me bringing in my memories and experiences of the same place, having been there before? Am I capable, of letting my travel partner experience through their owns senses and feelings, whatever arises, and living vicariously through them, filling up with enjoyment and wonder as they do? Or do we take away from their experience by sharing too much of our own, steering the path because we are the "experienced" one? I am choosing to be more fluid in allowing the moment to be, to see things new through others eyes.

Back in 2007, after years of travel knocking exciting items off my bucket list, I finally made my way to Peru. The moment I stepped off the plane in Cusco, I was completely overwhelmed with emotion, a local Shaman was greeting me & I felt like I had arrived home. In that moment, I realized that this trip was going to take me well beyond any forethought adventure & I was likely about to embark on a soul filled journey that may alter the trajectory of my life. Soon enough I found myself immersed in culture far from the typical tourist stops - participating in ceremonies at sacred sites way of the beaten path & sitting down for meals in remote villages with locals whom had lived & practiced this way of living for generations. Its difficult to articulate exactly how or why Peru moved me more than any of my previous travel destinations - but I fell in love with these people & the land & felt compelled to give back.

Upon returning home, I co-founded a charity & the following year I returned to deliver school supplies to the children I had met living in the remote villages. The following year I returned again but this time I brought both of my pre-teen children as well as my father, continuing this annual work for years to come. For me travel is more than taking a break - its about experiencing new cultures, bonding with loved ones & learning about who I am & how I can leave a positive imprint on the world.
