Maybe One Day Over Coffee… a Look Back at Peru

Posted by on August 24, 2011 at 12:56 pm.

I walked past a GAP Adventures guide telling his group in a slightly louder voice that tourists should never leave their group while on the Inca Trail and could feel multiple sets of eyes following me as I continued walking alone. Our group of 15 was spread out with the front and tail ends about an hour apart and I was somewhere in the middle enjoying some peaceful time away from a slower group that included two women determined to let me know how much better other tour groups were. The tour I was on was organized by the company I was working for at the time and my boss had sent me along for the ride.

From One to Four

This isn’t travelling. To me, travelling is when you have to constantly push your boundaries and don’t allow yourself the luxury of becoming complacent. It’s a learning process where you experience everything for the first time without the influence of others so that you can discover what you really love and hate. It’s a means of discovering yourself and learning to modify your habits and ways of thinking to become someone better than the person you were when you left. This is a vacation.
