I just love the way travel continues to educate me with life enhancing experiences!!!
Have you ever found yourself wondering…would this (experience/event) have happened if I never travelled?
I certainly do…and much more so as I get older. In case you are wondering I am 54 in September. So yes I am still young.
Recently Nilla and I ventured to Peru…nothing unusual or life changing about that except 6 years ago after my last trip to Peru I swore blind that there was no way I would ever go near that country again.
And yet here I am recently returned with the added bonus of having learned a great lesson in life…one I feel so strongly could also apply to you.
I just knew I had to share this valuable lesson so I made a short 4 min video where I go into detail.
Please take a few minutes and check it out now. Then share you comments.
If you don’t have time to watch the video then check out my summary below the video.
Here is a lesson in life for anyone who has ever said NEVER AGAIN!!!
I am sure you have said never again more than once in your life …right!!!
Well I did too…one such occasion was after I got violently ill with altitude sickness in Cuzco Peru.
Believe me 6 years ago there was a 100% definite NEVER AGAIN will I ever visit Cuzco.
So what happened for me to change my mind…simply the benefit of going became more than not going back.
And that is my point…time and circumstances helped me to look at Cusco through different eyes.
Not easy to do…and certainly much harder to follow through on as well.
The benefits to me, my family and my life from going back to Cuzco will be measured many times into the future as situations come up that I originally may think are not negotiable so to speak. All I will need to do is say CUZCO and I know my mind set will become more open.
Take a moment now and look on your life…do you have NEVER AGAIN issues or events that if revisited just may return you a difference result?
The interesting thing this also works in reverse…we see it all time where people return to a destination that gave them a huge high only to be disappointed the second time. It is somehow not the same…mmm… interesting how the mind works hey!!!

On Sunday it was such a beautiful day. I said come on Nilla let’s get out and enjoy some fresh air.
We are going fishing over in a remote accessible only by 4×4 vehicle part of the South Coast that makes up part of the beautiful view from the very popular Albany windfarm.
As we always do now we packed in the video camera just in case we felt inspired by the magic of our surrounds.
And yes guessed it I was inspired…please check out how what inspired me just may work for you as well.
Better still let me know if I did hit a cord with you in the comment s box below.
So there you go get out and enjoy your local area…it just may inspire you. At the minimum I am sure you will find something to appreciate. WThis will make you feel good for sure?

There are many tours planned with the first being to my homeland Italy in May 2010, this journey encompasses all of my passions which I would love to share with you, walking, cooking, culture, people, scenery and history.
We commence this Gourmet Walking journey in Florence staying in a villa just outside of San Gimigiano, walk amongst the vineyards and olive groves, learn how to cook a Tuscan feast, then we walk the Amalfi coast and attend a cooking school in Sorrento for 6 days where we will learn how to make Limoncello...
