Spiritual Travelling
I like this idea - the travelling I did from 2001 [to Paris, the year after my daughter's death] until 2011 [last year: I can't get away now] was always to express something of myself, and find healing. My big, special journey was to India in 2002 to see tigers and their habitat. I went on safari in 2 national parks [Kanha & Bandhavgarh] - also explored key sites in Delhi. Seeing my first tiger in the jungle, under some large, dark leaves, gave me an enormous 'high' - and after that it was as if I was on a different plane [at least for several months]. I had other, even better tiger sightings, but the first was special. The stillness and difference of the Indian countryside was different from anything I'd known in the UK or Europe. I returned in "007 - between those year I travelled in Eastern Europe [Slovakia's Tatra Mts. & SE Poland], looking for wildlife,and enjoying the open wildness of the mountains. [Found that though there were wolves and bears around, one never saw them on field trips - only 'signs'.] The human history was compelling - on a trip to Krakow, I visited Auschwitz for a day - a dark, powerful experience. Since then I have visited Berlin, a vibrant modern city with much history, Venice - just magnificent, and Bruges - pretty and tranquil. I hope to be free to travel again in future, after my personal "caring" duties are over. Maybe to Southern Africa -?

a question about your trip to israel
Hello, My name is Adva, and I am writing a master thesis on travelers in Israel and the Palestinian territories. I read your amazing blog, and i wonderful if you can answer a few questions: 1. Did you use a guidebook to Israel? 2. If you did use a guidebook, of which company was it. 3. If it was of the Lonely Planet, which edition was it? (It is writing in the back cover and in the first pages usually, and if you dont have the book, can you try to remember what appeared at the front picture cover?) 4. Would it be ok that at the future I will send you more questions? 5. Thanks Adva
