Hey
Quester’s, I’m back from an adventure in Europe with the family and five weeks later I'm still
getting back into the rhythm of things. Routine’s not a bad thing, but think
I’m still playing catch-up. I’ve nearly caught up with the paperwork, emails,
letters, unpacking, cleaning and digging out a winter wardrobe. Autumn was
still warm when we left; it was five degrees when we stepped out of the
airport.
Though I’ve been
to a few places I remember one women dealing with culture shock on a tour years
ago that had her in a bit of a tangle. This is to be expected in any culture
that differs greatly from your own, or your first overseas trip. It may not even
be the culture itself that upsets some people, but a lack of what they are used
to back home. Change can be challenging in some circumstances, though being
open and giving it a chance is recommended for an enjoyable holiday. Pacing
yourself is also desirable, exhaustive travel gives you little time for
contemplation and to soak up the atmosphere. A little pre-holiday research will
certainly make you feel at ease.
Travel
broadens your view of life and a vast amount of knowledge and experience are equally
enjoyable. Seeing how people live in a different nation brings clarity, empathy, joy and growth. Then all you need to do is use all that information
and experience to enhance your life and Quest. If possible write your adventure
down to enhance those memories and any inspirations that come to mind. Few of
us have an amazing memory.
We have done
more travelling in the last forty years than at any other time. Generally
modern transport is making is easier and faster to see distant countries, so pick
a destination, save your money, do the paperwork and get out there!
