Welcome

RE GU LA R S

In life, it is said it's the difficult
experiences that allow us to develop and no, I don't mean being squeezed,
sardine-style, onto the Northern
Line. That is one sadly unavoidable
necessity no zen master can ever hope
to, well, master.
I'm talking about the encounters that
shake you to the very core; those encounters that force you to
challenge exactly who you think you are, and ask you to seriously reconsider
the way you've constructed your life.
The good news is there is a very simple solution, because travel (yes, even
outside of the M25!) has a wonderful way of doing just that. Our generation
now champions experiences over material possessions. Why? Because, unlike
material wealth, experiences become a part of you. As has been oft quoted, we
are, after all, the sum total of our experiences.
With the UK reaching record temperatures this year, summer offers
myriad opportunities to change pace and step away from the monotony
of the daily grind. I hope you have - and continue to have - adventures
that pave the way for new ideas.
