Travel overseas:

I had the desire to travel to Italy and I put out the invitation to any woman that wanted to leave home for 16 days to sign up and take the dare. I had hostels booked and a quote for the plane and train pass- that was all. This past fall (09), three other adventurous women joined me on a trip of soul exploration.
We walked lots (lost weight), ate lots of gellato and mouthfuls of pizza, saw amazing sites and met wonderful people...even had a couple ladies change their plans to join us, as well, we changed ours to have them join us. We shared bathrooms, bedrooms, a kettle, and ourselves. We each shared our strengths to help the group; Anne learnt the train system which kept us from getting lost and helped us arrive on time, Jennifer kept us feeling positive and in control with her sunny diposition and her ease at booking reservations over the computer. Monique's charisma allowed events to run smoothly and I used my culinary skills to feed us some tasty grub as well as bringing us together around the table for conversation. We saved money by purchasing local train tickets when needed, buying deli meats, cheese, honey and bread for our day trips and sleeping in hostels, which was an adventure in itself. We each had the ability to take time out for ourselves....Monique flew to France for cheap, I participated in a cooking class and the other two explored galleries. We kept journals, writing in it what we learnt and what we felt. Lessons were being taught to us everday.
When we travel again, we realize that there are things that we would do differently; we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and are talking about doing it again in a couple of years. 

Are you interested in joining me on an adventure of soul discovery?
I'm taking ideas and suggestions.
