2015 New Year, New Life, New Me

 

On 1 January 2015 I posted on my Facebook: New Year, New Life, New Me. And to my surprise it is gone so.

The year began in Colombia. Together with my family somewhere in a farmhouse in Salento, one of the finest and most unique villages in Colombia, where the sound of cicadas and hummingbirds make the unreal landscape atop the mountains.

It was a quiet and profound starts, because the days before we had a sweet and too young family buried. Such events put you think. issues such as: What turns life around? How can I help others? What I want to do like and why I do not do it? Helped me to make choices and to be more in the here and now to live.

After my visit to Colombia, the journey continued through Argentina, Chile and Brazil. Every country with its charms, but later I will tell you something more about this, so keep an eye on my blog. After this eventful long journey, I came back in my familiar surroundings, but I knew deep down that something had changed in me. Only I could not then guess what I 2015 all would take. This year I fell in love only twice, in Berlin, a city with so many facets that it is impossible to be able to withstand this. In op Madrid, a city that challenges me every day to go exploring. I also let me intrigued by Gislaved http://www.living-gislaved.se, a young city in Sweden has so many mysteries that demands to be rediscovered. Besides all these great trips, I made the most important journey of my life, my trip to Santiago de Compostela. A journey that was associated with physical pain, confronting life lessons and spiritual joy, but that gave me the wisdom to accept life as it comes.

In 2015 my blog Journey Book is born. My personal blog that already has followers in Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Spain, United States, Colombia, Mexico, China, Russia and Japan. What started as a hobby has now gradually turned into a need. A need to write, to share things and make new friends, everywhere because the world is actually quite small.

Thanks have you been part of my journey in 2015 and many beautiful journeys in 2016!
