Last week we had the 2nd of a series of stories by Kendy. She is one of those few travelers who follows her "heart space" - has a few plans but travels according to what life she comes across wherever she happens to be in her journey. With this kind of traveling the possibilities are countless.
On the show she is telling us about 8 months of traveling she did in the interior of East Africa from Egypt to South Africa. Along the way she describes the people, cultures, places, things she sees and experiences and how she feels about this way of traveling. - spontanteity at its best - or what I call spontaneous immersion traveling.
Her first story, two shows ago, detailed the end of her journey when she contracted bilharzia (sp?), went home to Australia, and cured herself. Her sickness became her journey. Last show she talked about following along the Nile, climbing up Mt. Sinai and camping in the desert with Bedouins and their camels. What she sees and experiences are not the expected tourist sights and activities. Hers are wholly different, sensual and close to the life of the peoples/places around her.
This week, Friday 6/12, we will have a 3rd story by Kendy. I am not sure what it will be about but it may be her travels by boat along Lake Tanganyika.
Each week we are also following David Pollitt on board the Shearwater, a 47 foot cattamaran with faithful crew Mango as they prepare (and currently search for crew) for a 2 to 3 year sailing journey around the world. He is docked presently in West Palm Beach. You can find out more by going to his blog site www.mangoandme.net or
www.sailblogs.com/member/mangoandme/.
You will be able to follow his journey via an interactive map on that site.
Stay tuned.
