Oh, the places I'll go

Oh, the places I'll go This place is for all of you being as amazed as I am about the dream I hold and my next step in making it come true : my travel through South America

Today, December 1st 2015 at 00.17 AM I created this place : my own page. Never thought I would be that much of a Facebook fan, choosing Facebook as the place from which to create my next step in life. But honestly, I must confess, it isn’t that much about facebook … it is all about looking for a place within reach, where people like you can easily come and find me … if you want ! And sayi

ng so, I just made my rule number 1 for you as a follower : no “musts”, just “likes”. But I can assure you, for those who want to step into this place with me, you’ll have fun ! Fun, as well as hard times. But that’s life, sometimes there’s hard nuts to crack on our way of happiness and we all know deep down that the one doesn’t go without the other… that’s as simple as how balance works. This place is a place for all people in the world that are as amazed as I am about the dream I hold and my next step in making this dream come true : my travel through South America. Roughly counting 6 months from now and blessed with some keystones like :
- a 1-year budget (roughly counted ;-) thanks to my severance pay while leaving ABN Amro, formerly known as Fortis Bank, in 2010
- my partner, Henry, challenging himself these days to let me go chasing my dream
and
- a handful of trust that everything will work out fine
I will be off in June next year. But before I leave, there’s some kind of a journey to go (making it at the same time a bonus deal ;-). And this will be the place where I will share this same journey with you : all things that come my way, while preparing, while dreaming how it will be, while being scared, yet being convinced that this is what I want to do. As it comes from the heart. And MY HEART, that’s exactly the place where I promised myself to create from during my last Leadership Training, late January . For those of you who are more comfortable in Dutch, I am sorry, but I will fill up this place in English. It characterises the international touch that goes with travelling, meeting people from so many different countries, often sharing English as a common language. But don’t worry : nowadays there’s an easy “translate” button somewhere down the page, making your life easy and comfortable again ;-)

Are you curious ? Are you in for walking along with me ? Come and join me and … ENJOY ! And should you get bored, don’t worry ! There’s always the “unfollow” button ;-)

Love, Siegrun

Oproep aan mijn Vlaamse/Nederlandse FB vrienden : Ben jij iemand of ken jij mensen die een winterseizoen willen werken in de Franse Alpen ? Wij zijn dringend op zoek naar polyvalente medewerkers voor de keuken, zaal, bar, frontoffice of housekeeping. Ik kan je meer vertellen vanuit mijn eigen ervaring : wat je kan verwachten en welke voordelen seizoenswerk in de winter bij Sunweb biedt. Graag via PM. Bedankt ook om te delen 🫶

Back to August last year. It's the 3rd time I leave for my travel through South America, determined to end it in good shape this time. But believe it or not, another tragedy happens, not even one week after my departure. Are you curious what happened? Read on or check out www.ohtheplaces.eu

For those who think : "is she off and away again?" let me just clarify : just a trip down memory lane last year March. Returning to Colombia after an 8 months travel in Colombia, the Peruvian Amazone and Ecuador. Curious what made me return ? Read on or check out www.ohtheplaces.eu

All good things come to an end, which is the case for my stay at the Galapagos. But you won't hear me complain. I stayed here for 3 weeks and feel very spoilt. Curious how I spent my last days in paradise ? Read on or check out www.ohtheplaces.eu

What's the best remedy when being cold ? Right, going back to warm places, if only for the memory's sake. Half march last year : it costs a few bucks, but for my dream I go äll the way. So after some tough bargaining I get a great last minute deal, leaving for a 4 days cruise to the farther islands in the Galapagos archipel. I have great expectations of this trip.

Curious about the story behind the Red Gate ? A week full of love, happiness and connection. Exceeding all my expectations. Images illustrate what words cannot express. A special "thank you" to all my sponsors. Without you I wouldn't have accomplished this mission. Thank you, Helena van Engelen for making me feel your legacy from within !

Message to my sponsors Running4NiñosdelArcoIris : Running along the beach is my favourite, all the more as I may join the Trujillo Runners on their saturday morning training thanks to my Peruvian running buddy, Daniel Ravelo Mejia. It takes an early morning rise, but the warm welcoming by the Trujillo Runners is energising, so together we do a 12K run from Trujillo to Huanchaco beach (back by bus 😏). Running connects people !

Tumbes, the northernmost city at the Peruvian Pacific coast. My first stop in Peru. Immersed myself immediately in typical local streetlife. And no travelling without adventure as I go and discover the national park Cerros de Amotape and the mangrove

Message to my sponsors Running4NiñosdelArcoIris : a special run this afternoon. My first 10K in Peru, the homeland of the Niños. And how great it is to run along the Pacific North Coast beach. Mild temperatures and a light breeze. I could have run for hours. And what special encounters on my way : a big pelican standing still as I approached, children creating beautiful sand sculptures, red crabs running all around me, fishing boats ready to sail off. And last but not least : a 1,5 m long dead sealion, washed upon the shore. It would be a tourist attraction in our place, being surrounded by hundreds of paparazzi. Here he was just lying on his own, decomposing. What a unique scenery. Running is never boring.
