"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment." - Buddha
Having had a somewhat trying 2011, I decided that 2012 was a good time to put into action my long awaited travel plans, take to the winds and see where life blew me.
When I was about 6 I a wrote a letter to my mum, explaining that when I grew up I wanted to be like the North American Indians and lead a nomadic way of life, some dreams never leave you and this is where I find myself.....
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain
Having said my goodbyes, packed and repacked and then thrown a few more things out of the suitcase I was finally ready to go. Unfortunately, this was around the time the UK was taken surprise by its annual big freeze. This was the view from my window a few days before I flew. Everything crossed I would make it to the airport, and perhaps a good time to book that insurance....
Being the hardened northern lass that I am a little snow didn't put me off and after a final meal with close friends and family it was time to fly.....
For some reason airport security decided to take a liking to me and my belongings and thoroughly searched all my bags at both Heathrow and Munich.
After too long in airports and tin cans in the sky we finally touched down in my first country...
