How often have you thought about leaving everything to find passion and purpose in life?
This uplifting and inspirational story takes you on a journey with one woman who travels around the world for seven years in search of her passion and purpose, trading in her family and career in the UK for a back pack and a dream.
Julie tells the story of her last seven years as a nomad of the world, with humor, poignancy and intelligence, making this dream seem attainable for any woman.
She travels unconventionally and without a plan, facing up to her own fears of loneliness and vulnerability. A testament to human spirit and courage, it is a very personal account of discovering individual self.
Traveling by sea, plane, train and bus Julie back-packed around the world meeting and learning from different cultures, all the time seeking her own purpose in life. She has lived in many of the countries she visited for more than 3 months truly integrating with the local culture and their way of life. She has learnt from the Zulu's in Zululand, South Africa, the fishermen of Madagascar, Masai Mara of Tanzania, Kenyan women in Mtwapa Mombassa, Sea Gypsies of Southern Thailand and Hill tribes of Northern Thailand, the Muslims in Malaysia and the coastal folk of the Pacific Ocean. She has lived on a desert island for 3 months in the Indian Ocean. She has encountered sharks, giant turtles, jelly fish, giant sea snakes, Monitor Lizards, monkeys and monsters at sea!
Her book "A seven year journey around the world - discovering my passion and purpose" tells the story through her journal notes and letters, capturing her authentic feelings and fears. Through the process of writing her book she discovered her passion for writing and her purpose to help other people find passion and purpose and live an authentic life. She is an inspirational speaker and gives seminars, workshops and retreats to help women find their passion and purpose in life. She is the Founder of InspireABook, a workbook and educational program designed to inspire, motivate and assist first time authors live the dream of being an author. She lives her live on purpose and with passion every moment of the day.
"To circumnavigate the seven seas is the "crown jewel" of travel. Most of us wish to see the world and experience different things. But upon our return do we see things differently? Julie Salisbury is one of those who returned a changed person. "A Seven Year Journey Around the World - Discovering My Passion and Purpose" bears witness to her remarkable achievement and resulting insight. It is this kind of direct contact with other cultures and far-away places which she experienced first-hand that brings inner enrichment. Henri van Bentum, President, British Columbia chapter, International Circumnavigators Club " www.circumnavigatorsclub.org
Julie has found a fulfilling, meaningful and balanced life through her process of self-discovery. She has discovered that a positive outlook becomes a positive result and that through times of despair she trusted the universe to provide the answers. She demonstrates the law of attraction all the way through this story and will go on to inspire others to find their own passion and purpose.
