Dr. Julian Riano
Dr Newman's call to come to our full range of senses to avoid the trap of placing all our belongings, luggage along the journey, memories, smells in the treasure chest of the "normal" and "mundane". This book is a reality check to our inner self to wake up to look around us and identify what made us who we are, the struggle to leave those marvellous places we have fallen in love with to recognise that "we are all connected, from the smallest microbe to the largest animal, and our actions have consequenses for everyone" (Route Eight: Other Bodies, Other Paths). Moreover, one of the most meaningful messages the author leaves us with is that "Each of us walks our own path; when we get lost, curiosity can light the way and kindness guides our steps". Thank you Dr. Newman for this wonderful travel guide!
