Why this journey?

It’s a question people often ask me.

Well, the many and varied reasons include: 

	To make a change from my everyday life, and escape routine
	To experience a nomadic lifestyle for longer
	To fulfill my dream of travelling for a long time
	To slooooow down and focus on the present moment
	To discover the United States and meet some cowboys
	To turn the page on one part of my career and mark the transition to a new chapter in my life
	To dare to keep myself company (and my mules)
	To learn to trust myself, listen to myself, and find inner resources in the face of the new situations that never fail to turn up
	To let go of control, because when you’re travelling you need to improvise
	To increase freedom of action and open up new possibilities: yes, I did it, I dared to put my life on hold for a few months to go travelling!

Setting off alone into wild, mountainous, open spaces also meant I had to be a little stubborn, daring and reckless
