OZ2UK Two weeks of Work and Travel

This coming Sunday, March 21st, ‘Travels of an Earth Pilgrim’ embarks on the first leg of a two week journey. A journey halfway round the world from OZ back to the UK. As such that is nothing special, we have done this few times over the past years, as many others have.

So, what makes this journey different?

What’s new is the focus that we now have. This is because we came to the conclusion, recently, that ‘Earth Pilgrim’ is not just like the regular travel blog; with stories on how we went here and went there; how we visited ‘such and such’ and “this is me in the museum”. We are not travelling just for the sake of travel. Sure we do that every now and then and, like everyone else, we visit landmarks and swim in the ocean. Heck, we even write about it occasionally! But that is not how we live the other 300 odd days of the year. The bit we call our life…

So what is ‘Travels…’ about then? Why do we run it?

Last month we took time out and talked about the purpose of this blog; what we want people to “get”. We developed the three focal points:

Conscious Living | Independent Working | Travel Culture

This focus is about being aware of the ‘ecology’ of what we are doing. As we travel we keep our impact to a minimum; we earn a living as we go, and we become absorbed in the areas we stay in through stepping into people’s lives and and connecting with them and the local community.

But what does that mean? It looks great on paper, yet so far these are only words, and what is more, words that can be interpreted in many different ways. We have our thoughts and ideas about that, of course, but somehow that is not enough; it remains too vague. So we have decided to put it to the test and look for a definition that resonates with us on a personal level. That is what we are seeking to find out. A bit like a quest, you could say, and who knows, there might even be a holy grail at the end of it…

This journey will test our focal points. It will hone our purpose. It will bring to the surface how that purpose filters through on a day to day basis, in what we do. How it plays out in real life. Last, but definitely not least, it will allow us to share it with you AS WE DISCOVER IT!

Why these two weeks?

A couple of weeks ago all we had planned was a flight back to the UK, via Beijing, with Air China. Then we changed direction, dumped that flight and arranged this trip instead. We changed because we wanted to attend an event central to our overall purpose in life. Then the Universe backed up our choice by adding layers on top, business meetings, family visits, staying with friends, etc. etc. What we have lined up over the next two weeks spans everything we stand for. At least, that is the assumption at the beginning of the journey. Who knows what it will bring!
