Divide and Conquer

---

It has been six weeks since Erin and I returned to Canada after a year of touring China… it already seems like it was all a dream. Our year away was an incredible experience, though it is good to be home in a country and culture that – for me – I understand.

I can sum up our China adventure by saying that we take so much for granted in North America; one can never understand all that we have until traveling for an extended period amid such a different culture. It is hard to comprehend the freedoms and gifts we have been given simply by being born in Canada.

Many have asked if we will go back to China, and our answer is no. We may of course visit again one day, but we will not stay for an extended time. We do not say this with any negativity; it simply is not our home and not our culture.

Since returning, it has been a whirlwind of busyness.

Today we embark on another adventure, though for the next month we will divide and conquer. While I am staying in Canada for the next eight weeks making my way across Ontario with the carnival, early this morning Erin hopped on a plane on route to India where she will study yoga and meditation for the next five weeks. It seems like we are always on the go, though this time Erin and I are apart for the first time in over two years.

Sitting here in our RV, looking out as the Canadian National Exhibition transforms back into a giant parking lot, it is hard not to reflect on how precious time is and how much one can do if motivated to take full advantage of life. I have always believed that one must first ask “what is it that I want to do”, then figure out a way to make it happen. The only way to truly be successful – financially and emotionally – is to do the things you love and surround yourself with the kinds of people and places that propel you to be the person you want to be.

Erin and I have been striving to follow our hearts while ensuring that our health, happiness and prosperity continue to grow. Upon Erin’s return, we will make our final rounds in Canada and make our way back home to Hawaii where for the next while we will continue to build, take time to relax and prepare ourselves for the next adventure!

Pictures to come soon...

If you or someone you know is looking to get away, we still have winter dates available for our BREATHE retreat!

Divide & Conquer
May your paths continue to lead you to life's stories Sean. You strike me as a couple that step forward with optimism and confidence in all you do. When we first started discovering the many faces of China we jokingly did it as "David Hoo Tours...Your Travel Experts with Minimum Experience and Maximum Optimism." That mantra took us to amazing adventures across the world. Now we can't claim Minimum Experience but we can claim "We can do anything we set our minds to" and we now live by that. Enjoy your future Sean & Erin...and make sure it is a blast!

Hi Dave... so good to hear from you and I apologize for the delay in responding... it has been a busy month! We are definitely keeping busy, having fun and enjoying the experiences. We too prefer a minimalistic way of life and ultimately know that none of the successes mean a thing without our health and happiness, things we definitely do not take for granted! We will continue to post as we get back on track here and will of course keep in touch and continue to read of your journeys as well! Cheers! -Sean
