  In 1773, literary giant Samuel Johnson set off with his friend James Boswell on a tour of Scotland's remote Highlands and Western Isles. What followed was a vivid travelogue capturing the landscapes, people, and customs of a region on the brink of change. With wit, insight, and curiosity, Johnson reflects on everything from ancient clan traditions to the decline of the Gaelic language—offering a rare glimpse into 18th-century Scotland through the eyes of one of England's greatest minds.
  
  Part travel diary, part cultural critique, A Journey to the Western Isles of Scotland is both a historical snapshot and a thoughtful meditation on identity, society, and the passage of time.

  Camino de la Luna - Forgiveness

  It takes something really powerful to make you leave Hawai’i (or you know, running out of money).  I found myself called back to England by my heart, but not for long.  It wasn’t yet time to settle, it was time to explore another country I’d once fallen in love with, Croatia and to see if I could find a home, a place to rest and write.I didn’t have any idea quite how much more I had to learn, to understand and this journey was going to show me, above all things, the power of forgiveness.What is forgiveness?  Perhaps it’s like the sunrise and the sunset, something we’ve seen and known for a long time, before there was language to explain it, before there was science to explain it.  Even when we got it wrong, when we believed the sun moved around the earth, (which was an easy assumption to make), the sun rose and set without interruption, without correcting our misguided beliefs.So I think forgiveness exists, it rises and falls, even when we ignore it, just as we all share unconditional love we’re sometimes blind to.  I think we need forgiveness to survive.  Without forgiving ourselves for our mistakes, our missteps, we’d never move forward, we’d just sit down and rot in the road.  Indeed some people do.  And how can we forgive ourselves if we can’t forgive others who have hurt us so much less than we’ve hurt ourselves?Let go, let go, let go, it’s as simple as that and we can forgive even in the midst of the worst abuse, we can use forgiveness to end the cycle of abuse, “abuse begets abuse”, to let go of the need to punish, to be right and, so importantly, the need to keep suffering because of the past.From the Amazon Best Selling author of "Japan Is Very Wonderful," the "Camino de la Luna" series and the Pearl Escapes mini-guides.The third in this series (or fifth including the self help manual "free Feeling Real Emotions Everyday" and prequel "Japan Is Very Wonderful") "Camino de la Luna – Forgiveness" continues the journey.

  Backpacking - A Guide to...

  Setting off on a backpacking adventure requires careful planning to ensure a smooth journey and maximize the experience without overspending. First, defining a destination is essential, as this will shape your entire budget and itinerary. Research the cost of living, accommodation, and local transportation options for each location to get a clear picture of potential expenses. Some destinations are significantly more affordable than others, and being flexible with timing and locations can help you find the best deals. 
    
  Once you’ve chosen a destination, create a realistic budget that accounts for all expenses, including flights, lodging, food, excursions, and any emergency funds. To stick within budget, consider booking flights and accommodations in advance, as early bookings often offer the best rates. Use fare comparison websites, track fare fluctuations, and take advantage of promotions to secure low-cost flights. 
    
  Accommodation is another key part of planning. Backpackers often rely on budget-friendly options, such as hostels, guesthouses, or even homestays. For those looking to save even more, options like Couchsurfing or work-exchange programs can provide free lodging in exchange for volunteer hours. Research accommodation that fits your needs, and always read reviews to ensure safety and quality.
