A year of
feature
simply being…
Ally, who has been volunteering
since she was very young describes
the experience as; eye-opening,
challenging and life-giving to self. On
her recent trip overseas she arrived
in Nepal only a few days before the
largest earthquake in over 70 years hit
the country. This is her story…
I sat down mid-last year and mindmapped my life’s current trajectory. At
the end of this process, I wasn’t so sure
that I was where I wanted to be…
I made the decision (courageous, and
slightly crazy) to pack up everything and
change the direction I was heading, to
one that resonated more with my spirit.
I wanted to learn less of how to dodo-do, which is embedded so deeply
into the Australian way of life. I’m in my
3rd month of an 18 month adventure,
having just left Nepal, for India to live
and work in the slums of Kolkata for
6 months. I’m then heading to Israel
for a mini-pilgrimage, and ending my
adventure back in Nepal.
