Description

"Stories from the Andes" examines travel as a metaphor for life and self-discovery.

Excerpt: Explore

As a rule, I don't give advice. But on one occasion, I counseled my nephew at a low point when he felt lost and sought guidance and the strength to carry on."Where do I draw strength?" he asked. First, I replied, "Fold your arms across your chest and hug (love) yourself. Are you done? Good, now let's move on. In no order: take inventory of yourself and your situation and own it. Pick up the pieces. Sooner rather than later. There's a world out there waiting for you. Yes, you. You're in demand. You'll discover new people, relationships, perspectives, and cultures. You'll find that new places and people are pure enlightenment and entertainment. Laugh with and not at them. It's free. And that's something when you mistakenly believe you have nothing. Now, explore. When you get bored, explore some more. Incrementally, things will fall into place. Trust me, nephew. I've been there, done that. You can do that too. Love you, Now, stop hugging yourself. It's creepy." For readers of this book, his story is also yours. At some point, we all find ourselves in the depths of uncertainty and confusion. But remember, it's in the act of exploration, whether through travel, self-reflection, or trying new experiences, that we find solace and strength. Our journeys of discovery reflect universal human experiences that transcend boundaries - whether real or imagined. The philosophy of travel, regardless of destination, is about engagement, finding purpose, defining our role, and understanding our place in life. Ultimately, it's about recognizing ourselves in others and fostering a sense of connection and empathy that enriches our lives.
