I would sit flipping through the pages of encyclopaedias and travel journals learning about ancient cultures and countries. This sparked my curiosity of the world. As soon as I was old enough to book my own travel I was off, close to home at first and then the longer distance travel. I grew a passion through this travel to see new places, meet interesting people, experience different cultures and most of all feel a freedom as I navigated a world that I was choosing to explore.

How amazing is it to be taking in the moment, being present with not a care in the world. This is looking after your mental health. Even the build up to departure creates a happiness and excitement that is hard to garner any where else.
