As the Wise Man Once Said, "We Travel Just to Travel"
I have been asked the question many times by friends, family, and even complete strangers what made me leave Scotland to come and live in Barbados. The main reason I would say is my love of travelling and adventure. I love Scotland, which is the country of my birth and where I lived for most of my life. But as I approached the grand old age of 40, I felt that life was passing me by and I needed new experiences and fresh challenges, it is as simple as that.
I personally feel that everyone should engage in travelling to far away lands to experience different cultures, weather, languages, food, drink, and to just engage in life somewhere different from our normal comfort zones. I especially feel that it is something that not only will adults tremendously benefit from, but children will also greatly benefit from the joys and wonders, not only of travelling to foreign lands but actually living in a different country.
I suppose I was like most people that would dream about just giving everything up and heading off to another country to start a new life, it would just remain an ideal dream. I would always find excuses as to why I should stay in Scotland. Life sure was comfortable in Scotland, nice apartment, good car, reasonable well paid and secure job, with a good pension at the end of it. I maybe wasn't rich but things were okay. But the lure of travelling and the excitement of the unknown became too much of a pull for my family and myself and here we are following our dreams in Barbados.
I maybe be approaching 40 years old, but it is now being said that 40 is the new 20 and who am I too disagree with that. I may not have as much money, a regular income or a fancy car as I once had, but I'm enjoying life and the new challenges and experiences of living life in my new home in Barbados.
I know some people would find it a complete nightmare to be periodically getting lost when I go out in the car or not quite knowing how to get somewhere, I find it shows that I'm still alive and I'm loving the challenges, which my new environment provides me with.
Now that Barbados is my home, the traveller in me is looking forward to going and exploring some of the many other wonderful Caribbean Islands. All I can say is, long may the adventures and travelling continue.
