Well I finally did it. Chucked everything that I was working on out and embarked on my dream that has been dormant for the last 30 years.
I have always been somebody who is curious about what lies over the next horizon, and before I married and “settled down” did a heap of travelling. In fact I am at my happiest moving towards the next horizon, meeting new people and experiencing everything life has to offer.
My kids have left the nest, I hated what I was doing and the negaivity associated with it, and decided that it is now or never. Wife not very happy, but I am sure we can come to an arrangement that will include her too.
I also come form an old horse culture, over 2,00 years old, possibly much older, and I have a love of history, particularly that of warrior cultures in East Asia, the Middle East and over to Western Europe
Enter LiveHistoryTours.com where we try as much as possible to go and experience life where history happened.
And therein lies a problem – there are not many places left in the world where you can see and mingle with people who are essentially unchanged from what they were like hundreds of years ago, or where they only see you as an income source rather than a guest or friend.
The scope is huge too, so I finally picked my theme – follow Ghengis Kahn and his hordes from Mongolia through to Poland where they finally stopped.
And here is an interesting fact – part of that horde is even today alive and well in the south west of my fathers native land where they fianlly stopped their westward march. That in itself is an interesting story but you will have to go and see the LiveHistoryTours site to read it.
History and the landscape is littered with such anomolies – this is what makes it so interesting.
This is my passion. I am riding in the hoofprints of Ghengis Kahn. Maybe one day you will join me?
Stay awesome
Rick
