The Journey of a Life Time

It’s been hard. I’m not going to lie and tell you all it’s been an easy ride or your typical Disney movie script. The adventure of a lifetime comes once, happeneds and goes as quick as its come. Each day was a battle. Every night was cold and frosty, and every morning we put away a soaking wet tent!
So why take this adventure? Why battle the ups and downs of each country? For me living with Crohns disease is a challenge every day. I knew in my heart that if I could do this, just last the 6 months away from home... and survive, I would be alright; I would make it in this world.
Well I did just that. However, if it wasn’t for the strength, the constant hugs and encouragement, the kisses and most important someone believing in me, I don’t think I would be writing this today. No matter how many tantrums I threw, or cheese toasties I burnt, Phil was there. He was my guide and my wall. He was someone I could, and very much leaned on through the trip.
With his help I did it. I set out what I was going to do and I won. I saw things that only one might see in books or movies. We drove places where the citizens were chasing the cops around. We coped with car troubles, bums, drug deals, gippos and fatigue. We swam in the shadows of the great Alps. We saw spiders bigger then a human fist while doing the dishes. We lived. Moreover we saw just a hint of what this world can offer if we just take the chance and open our eyes to it.
I’m writing this now because I want you all to do the same. Perhaps not today or tomorrow, just don’t let opportunity pass you buy. After all, there’s more to life then sandy beaches and a cool margarita. Explore and you will find yourself.
