4. Taylor Pearce and Jasmine Weston - Stepping Into The Unknown
Life lessons from Africa, Kilimanjaro, Nepal, and trekking the mighty trail to Everest Base Camp.
They were kids just out of high school when they were given safe opportunities with Global Immersion to step into the world of their ‘Unknown’ and the breadth of what they discovered has stayed with them forever! Unforseen courage, wise insights and loving hearts continue to direct their lives today.
How come the natives of Tanzania and Kenya were the friendliest people they ever met, when they had so little?
Why should they embrace ‘us’ with such joy and enthusiasm, when we don’t even talk to our neighbours?
Why didn’t the African mother not panic, when her 2 year old baby was nowhere to be found?
Why were the people of the slum more attached to each other than their iPhone and were happier for it?
Is it possible that the simple, uncomplicated and uncomplex lives of these beautiful African and Sherpa people inspired a greater ‘we’ connection with humanity then all the riches of the west?
How did the immense challenges of ascending Kilimanjaro and trekking that mighty trail to Everest Base Camp help both Jasmine and Taylor discover qualities within self they didn’t even know they possessed?
From these extraordinary encounters, Jasmine and Taylor returned to Australia questioning some of the very values which had previously shaped their lives.
For Jas, her fortitude and resilience was tested beyond the max, when on the first day of her Kilimanjaro climb she discovered that her new home had become a victim of the devastating 2011 Brisbane Floods. The unbearable anguish inspired some of her greatest learnings which continue to influence her life today. You will learn why the philosophy of ‘it is what it is’ might just be a guide post to greater happiness.
This episode is so much more than exotic travel stories. It really is a personal exploration of the benefits of seeking outside of comfort zone experiences which inevitably will draw out of you dormant qualities that are just waiting to add more value and meaning to your life.
