Who the Hell Says I Can'T!! e-bog

Imagine the possibilities that can follow from taking your first step into the unknown which could change the life that you have known, forever. A middle-aged, working-class, Lancashire woman's true story of a lifetime, learning to start finally listening to her heart and to trust again. When a life-changing chance of a holiday to visit a friend in Hong Kong brings a distant dream of travelling alive: to backpack around the world and change her life from everything she has ever known. A chance to leave behind the struggles she has faced and take a year away from her family, home and career to travel across the globe, visiting South East Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and beyond. Finally finding the real person she is after a childhood of abuse and poor relationship choices that followed, she forges new friendships and finds a new life among an abundance of fun and laughter along her way- with the occasional small disaster thrown into the mix! Concluding and meeting up with each of her adult children in New Zealand months later, travelling together through the North and South Island, backpacking together in a broken old hippie van. At the years end, an inevitable realisation comes that there is no going back- physically or mentally. Life has to move on, it can never be the same again... and she will never be the same. New experiences are encountered and dreams are realised that go way beyond a year of backpacking abroad. Read her story of learning to trust the instincts inside and to trust others too, finally moving on from the past and making a new future for herself and for her adult children. It's not the journey itself, it's the people we meet on the way that makes our life the wonder that it is. We have one life, we have to live it.
