Standing On The Precipice is exactly how I felt as I embarked on my first overseas adventure... I had never been overseas before. I had spent 12 months training to go SCUBA Diving in Antarctica. I had thought to myself that it would have been a missed opportunity to travel half way around the world to a new country and culture, only to simply drop in, say hi and come back home again. I asked around the people I worked with and they came up with some extra ideas and locations to visit...
- The Galapagos Islands. Being a bit of a science geek, going to the very place that helped Darwin form his theory of evolutions piqued my interest.
- Iguazu Falls at the top of Argentina on the border of Paraguay and Uruguay.
- And then I found out I could also go to Easter Island. This was a place that has fascinated me since I was about 8 years old reading a weekly magazine called The Unexplained
- I worked my itinerary so that could play Beach Volleyball with the Brazilian's in Rio after seeing them in the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
- I wanted to experience another totally different culture
I was lucky enough to have Long Service Leave available. So I took 3 months off from work and went. I figured if I didn't do it then, I never would. So it was a bit of a leap out of many comfort zones; but being wide opened to the opportunity I was literally: Standing On The Precipice not knowing what I would find...
So, as they were written in the planning, during and after my South American, Antarctica Diving trip...
