I was the recipient of loving generosity and kindness…

I have just been the recipient of such beautiful, kind generosity. I was checking out of the Holiday Inn at Santiago Airport and I said to the lady - "Es una Muy lindo pulsera" (that is a beautiful bracelet) and after I had checked out she came around to me and popped it on my wrist. I was overwhelmed. I had a tough night ...

First part of my journey to South America… Yeh!!! I’m here at Puerto Montt; after flying from Brisbane to Sydney.. then to Santiago…. then to Puerto Montt..then hiring a car and driving for an our in peak holiday traffic in one way streets on the opposite side of the road than to which I am accustomed.. I am now here in Puerto Montt and a few hours in the morning I will be driving six hours to Chiloe – an area of beautiful islands, where I will be staying in a B&B on Lemuy Island - a small remote rural island where I will acclimatise myself to the time zone shift – in preparation for my Osorno climb on the week-end.   It has been some time since I have posted – so I thought I would update everyone on my journey right now… I’m in Chile to climb Osorno volcano and then on to Antarctica.   I feel so incredibly privileged to ...

Not many sleeps to go now… Osorno Volcano climb and I am ready !

Today I am excited to be leaving for another incredible adventure. With gratitude I find myself having more opportunities to experience myself and that which is far greater than me; when I trek and climb the incredible landscape of the Osorno Volcano in Chile on my 54th birthday in less than a week – on 13th Feb; and then journey to Antarctica for a second time. For this trip to Antarctica my companion is a very fun Chilean girlfriend; whilst Max is skiing with our boys and their friends across the US and Canada.   What a privilege to be able to experience these sacred places. I feel prepared and will give it my best shot! The Osorno volcano climb in Chile is one ...

Antarctica…. sublime…

It seems for me a bit surreal that only a few months ago I was an adventurer in one of the most exquisite and extreme places on Earth. Antarctica. I have now had some space between my journey into the cold and sublime spaces of this magical place, and still

Explorers…Antarctica…. Setting the scene; planes, boats, ice and VERY cold water!!!!!

We were explorers...adventurers in a place where Nature runs the show. In Antarctica plans are temporary. Fluid. Changeable. At best, plans in Antarctica are the sketch of a 'wish list'...pencilled in itineraries and schedules and deadlines; all overlaid with ice and wind and snow....and fog. Max and I had chosen a trip

What part of me is……. ???? … (catalyst from experience in Antarctica)

Well... Antarctica seems such a long time ago now and seems to be fading in my memory; but still such a strong part of me and my experience.....and remains such a catalyst for me asking myself the question... "What part of me is.... ??"
