Raquel Ochoa - Finding True Freedom with Travel Writing

In this episode award-winning writer Raquel Ochoa, is explaining how bravery and curiosity have built her career as a travel writer. Raquel shares her stories of going to remote places and how it impacted her writing style. How intuition has fed her hunger to experience places and write about them, from a visceral place, a channel of her own experience. Her bravery is a key voice of all her stories.

Recently Raquel has been invited to translate a beautiful essay by Henry Thoreau, a testimony of how moving in Nature, walking step by step, is an exercise in finding true freedom.

For this episode I wanted to know more about this movement in nature as a spiritual experience. Moving in Nature is the direct experience of where our body is, connecting us to the right moment, the true place where we meet our physical self. Which in the end is the most genuine expression of presence. This is true freedom.

This episode interests anyone who is looking to find true freedom. The answer resides in this conversation about movement in nature, and how to develop bravery and curiosity as tools whenever we feel an urge to challenge ourselves.
