Be bold. You know you want to!.
Two weeks ago I walked into my local travel agent.
I told the young lady standing behind the counter that I was looking for an adventure. My only requirements were that I wanted to leave London and the 8th of December and that I wanted to go to a place that I'd never been before.
She relled off a few possible destinations. Cancun in Mexico, Goa in India and Salvador in Brazil. I settled on Salvador and am just about to start packing my bags so I can an early flight from Gatwick Airport.
Now I have to be absolutely honest. I am not the worlds greatest holiday planner. In fact, I'm quite the opposite. I haven't had a chance to read my guidebook and I've got absolutely no idea what I am going to do once I get out to Brazil.
And I have to admit, I actually quite like it that way.
I find it quite magical to put myself into situations, where everything is new and where I have absolutely no idea what will unfold. The beautiful thing about doing this is that you can experience life free from expectations and just enjoy the journey. Kinda like being a kid again really.
Be bold. There's a part of you that really wants to.

I have an adventure awaiting me in January. I was looking for people to rent out my flat while I am away over Chirstmas and came across a house swap in Paris.So without any particular reason, I am going to Paris for a week in January.
I have just arrived back from my adventure,a surprise gift of a trip to Lapland to see Santa, boy was this great, the snow the magic, and above all the quiet, I even met Santa and he read my wish list,so now am waiting to see if it arrives, It was incredible to write down my wishes and have them validated, being an elderly person who very much believes that if you don't ask you won't get, anyway Damien have a great time in Salvador there to it is great and you will meet some amazing people.It is energetic, vibrant and colourful.
