When I'm traveling I try and find a quiet place and just listen to nature, whether that's somewhere I can hear the sea, listen to waves crashing against rocks, into the woods.

When I'm back home in England, It's just a case of going for a simple stroll. I try and block out any thoughts and let my mind uncloud. Once my mind opens up, words tend to come rushing back and the block is gone. (less)

For my mind to roam free, to get my emotions, feelings, advice and knowledge out of my mind and onto paper.

It's just a great feeling as my words form into something that will help others in the future. To be able to help others live out their dreams, just like I did, to influence peoples lives in a positive way is the greatest feeling. I know what it feels like, sometimes we just need the right encouragement and push in the right direction. There is no better feeling than knowing you were able to help another accomplish their dreams(less)

“There is sometimes a misconception that you have to be self-assured, oozing with confidence, a social butterfly, and comfortable with your own company to long-term solo travel. But that is simply not true”
Amit Vaidya Forever Roaming the World, You, Yourself & the World

“Long term solo traveling gives you the ability to the architect of your own travel design – travel in your own vision and not how people tell you too”
