We talk about awakening, awareness, and other terms in healing. They’ve become quite the buzz words (along with “woke,”) but, for me, what I would call my awakening was a momentary death of ego and a rebirth of mind, body, and spirit.

It is famously written and quoted that we are more scared of our power, of our light than our dark, but here is something else: I think that many of us are ashamed of our power. Because we were not always powerful. We were all small once, we have all been scared of something real or unreal, usually both—we have all had to hide or run. This is just one of the origins of fear of success. How do we get through our fear of success to embrace our authenticity? What are the causes, the roots of our fear? Sometimes we have to address the problem at its source to enjoy life.

This is a book about faith, about adventure, about living with my heart open and letting go of the fear of being myself. In June 2016 I decided to sell my house of 22 years and leave my comfort zone. I had no idea where I would go next, but slowly the Camino de Santiago showed itself and I decided, with no rucksack or hiking experience, to start. In the first part of this story, I left England and flew to Seville and travelled on to Granada, where I stayed first in a treehouse and then a cave…before I picked up my rucksack and headed north on the Camino.

A dream come true. But more than that. A dream I had given up on, hidden from myself, brought to light, and then realised. And yet, the first time I saw orangutans in Semenggoh, semi-wild, it was not the experience I had hoped for. Sarawak is so much more than orangutans, and in coming here to visit them I learned so much more about their world, our world and my own world.
