The shrine is situated inside of limestone caves believed to be approximately 400 million years old.   In order to enter the shrine, you must climb up approximately 272 steps.

An unexpected surprise arrived

The wrapping paper

An unexpected surprise arrived at my door today.  It came in a white bubble-wrap envelope, laced with the markings of a package that’s traveled between countries. “What could this be?” I wondered out loud, examining the Royal Mail stickers and return address from Edinburgh, Scotland. Excitedly, I tore the envelope open and pulled out a […]

ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Rebecca!
For as long as I can remember, I've dreamed of adventure and rebelled against the idea that life should follow some sort of pre-determined path. That's why, at the age of 18, I moved half-way around the world from Canada to the UK in search of new experiences. Since then, I’ve lived in three countries and travelled to nearly 20. My goal is to experience as much of the world as I can and to lead a location independent lifestyle. This blog will document my journey and, hopefully, inspire you to achieve your own goals.
