“Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire.”

As soon as I heard this something clicked. Actually that’s a pretty fucking large understatement. Something erupted. (cheeky).

Adventure sets my soul on fire. So much so that I physically cannot control my emotions when I talk about it. Saying the word out loud makes me want to cry. That’s a feeling I can’t ignore.

So in September I am going to paddle a Canadian canoe from the source of the Thames, roughly 185 miles to London. I might make it. I might not. It doesn’t matter. I’m not doing it for the destination, life is about the journey.
