In our sixties, (Don’s now seventy-two!) with apparently no other authentic option, my husband Don and I sold our car and apartment, sold or gave away all our stuff, and set off to discover the world. And ourselves. We started in Italy in 2011 and from there have travelled to Spain, India, Bali, Australia, Southeast Asia, Sweden, Mexico, South America, etc. – you can see the blog archive. We will continue travelling until it’s time to stop – if that time ever comes. So far it suits us very well. We are interested in how the world works, how life works, how the creation of experience works, how the mind works. As we travel and both “choose” our course, and at the same time just let it unfold, we discover the “mechanics” of life, the astounding creativity of life, and a continual need to return to trust and presence. Opening the heart, and acceptance of what is, as it is, are keystones for us both. Interests: Alison – in no particular order: travel, figure skating (as a fan), blogging, photography, acceptance, authenticity, walking/hiking, joy, creativity, being human, adventure, presence, now. Don – the same except replace figure skating with Formula One motor racing. To discover more read the article we wrote for Retirement and Good Living: The Gift of Travel.
