Follow the dream
Hey! Do you dream of exotic places? Of trips to distant deserts and mountains? Do you dream of adventure? Well, Liz Clark has been living that dream, and I've been following her inspirational blog.
After finishing university, Liz learned to sail as one of her old professors offered to lend her his yacht for as long as she wanted it.
In October 2005, she set off on her journey. Liz found it hard to leave behind her friends and family, but she's been travelling to many fascinating places for over fifteen years. Among other countries, she has stopped off in Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama and the Galapagos Islands.
When she stops somewhere, she surfs, does yoga and writes her blog. Adverts on Liz's blog have been paying for her trip. There are beautiful beaches, crystal clear water and perfect surf in her photos.
But life on the ocean can also be difficult. ‘It feels so great to inspire others to live their dreams,' says Liz, ‘I've worked hard and it hasn't always been easy or fun.’
She also gets very lonely, but she keeps going. She's looking for some company on the boat to stay with her as she carries on her journey around the world. Liz, I think I'll join you! Does anyone else want some adventure?
