Camino de la Luna: Courage - Paperback

Howie, Pearl: - "Pearl published her last book sitting on a boat, she doesn't own the boat, she just rented it for two nights through AirBnB, she is learning to share space instead of needing to own it to feel secure. She's joined the Youth Hostel Association in the UK which also gives her membership of Hostelling International. She's been very impressed with the youth hostels she's stayed in so far, particularly how comfy the beds are. She recommends you go check it out because the money you pay for staying there also supports the YHA to allow young people to explore the outdoors, regardless of the kind of barriers that get put up in some places - religion, race or even sometimes disability. You can also stay there whatever age you are and remember what it was like to go camping as a kid, or share the joy of their school trip, even if you never could afford to go on one yourself. They're also supporting families to take breaks, when they've been affected by the kinds of things that stop families from being able to enjoy life. If you decide to visit a Youth Hostel Pearl recommends the camping pods, bell tents and cute little cottages in the middle of nowhere (but don't forget your own towels, toiletries and tea bags). She is currently in Wales looking up at mountains that speak to her heart, it gives her the courage to publish this book. On the way here an ex-executive of the Youth Hostel Association sat down next to her on the train, he told her he and his son rebuilt the cottage she just stayed in (he did the electrics). When she talks about how amazing she's finding the Youth Hostels she's staying in he says "Yes, it was like a great big secret, a members only club, but they had to learn how to share.""
