How patronising is talking about snide coach trips full of bids stopping off for Bingo every half an hour.

Last year in Nepal I was at a charity school thing and I met this old woman, looked about a hundred but was about your age, she went travelling 20 years ago in India and ran out of cash. Now, when you run out of cash in India you must be skint and so really there is only one place to go....Nepal.

She found herself in a stunning little place called Pokhara, (I've been and it is nothing short of breathtaking) In any case she lingered and decided to stay a while.
She figured that women in Nepal who have kids have no choice but to be mothers and the fathers all go out to work, they break their backs for 18 hours a day and can barely support the family. She set up a day care centre for mothers to ditch their kids so the mothers could work too.
All run on donations she makes a meagre living as it is non-profit.
I asked her since she had committed so much of her life to the project did she have any regrets and she replied "I wish I had come 20 years sooner"

Point being you can spout all this coach trip garbage, or harp on about a journey of a million miles starts with a single footstep etc. etc and it does get boring. But the reality is this - There is a world waiting to be explored, a life waiting to be found, damn - You could start a Mecca bingo in Mecca

You just got to go......That's the hardest part; the rest falls into place.
