40. Mayhem On The Water: Part 2 of my Let’s Go Around The Globe Series

In this episode, I share more about the values and reasons why I explore so often and travel so much. I talk about the resistance, negative feedback, and pushback I have often received from friends, family, teachers, and colleagues regarding my travel habits.I delve into the idea that travel is not running away from something. In my life, it represents running towards something that is very life giving, liberating, fun, challenging, and joyful.I briefly discuss why it is so important that we don’t allow others to choose our life scripts for us.Later in the conversation, I talk about how travel and adventures have often not gone as planned for me and my travel companions. In fact, on several occasions things have completely gone off the rails.I believe you will enjoy my 3 water- based misadventures.-            The first one is an Outer banks North Carolina fishing story about the one that nearly got away. I’m not referring to fish, but rather an epic battle between a fishing rod and a pelican.-            In the second tale, I talk about a near rafting disaster in the Czech Republic with family and friends that ultimately ended well. -            The last story is another rafting misadventure (do you see a pattern here?) where I unsuccessfully play rafting guide on the mighty Youghiogheny River in Ohiopyle, Pennsylvania. The final score of this story was River 1 and Eric zero.I close things out with an inspirational travel quote that has inspired my kids to answer their own desires and quests to see this vast and beautiful planet.PerfectWhelm Podcast Links & Resources:-            Schedule a free discovery call with me to learn more about my coaching programs and services.-            Email: [email protected] -            I hope you will follow, subscribe, rate, and/or share the podcast with someone you think might benefit from it.
