I’m going to be honest, there are so many places, I can’t list them all here, but I will share a few that are high on my current list. This list will change as I’m sure your own has over the years.
88 Temples Pilgrimage, Shikoku Island, Japan
I can imagine soaking in an open-air bath (Ryokan) after a day on the trail – feeling happy-tired. Proud of what I have achieved and awed by the magnificence of nature.
Diving with Whalesharks – several options for where
The happiest place in the world – Bhutan
I think there’s a lot to learn from Bhutan.
Their views on what’s important in life are worth exploring. Since the 1970s they have measured Gross National Happiness. Gross national happiness means efforts in support of sustainable development, education, health and valuing societal good over economic growth. I respect a country that is maintaining it’s ancient culture. It’s becoming more modern without sacrificing its independence, culture or natural environment.
Walking the West Highland Way -Scotland
Another back to nature adventure. Unwinding and getting back to the simplicity of a long-distance walk. Walking in to the Highlands would be dramatic. Being surrounded by huge mountains puts life in perspective.
Motorbiking and Stained-glass – Italy
Submerging myself n a stain-glass course under Diego’s watchful eye would make me work carefully and precisely. The challenge and the discipline of the work would be absorbing.
Canadian Wilderness- Canada
