“There is something in us that refuses to be regarded as less than human. We are created for freedom.” – Desmond Tutu
April arrives with fun and festivities – Easter, family time, and Freedom Day. The month has so many holidays that it’s the best time for a gorgeous getaway! Whether you’re planning a solo trip, family holiday or a romantic rendezvous, travel will never disappoint.
Travelling to new places is the best way to bond with others and to reconnect with yourself. It gives you the chance to get out of your comfort zone. You’ll try new things and experience new adventures. You’ll meet new people and see new sights. Being in a new place opens your mind and your soul and makes life worth living. Ultimately, travel is freedom.
Freedom to explore, to indulge, to play, to roam, to relax, and to live life to the fullest.
Travel isn’t just sipping cocktails poolside (although that’s a part of it!). It’s also about getting to know yourself on another level, realizing what activities or foods you’re willing to try. It’s about pushing yourself to new heights and doing it with your favourite people – the ones who make you feel alive and free.
It’s important to acknowledge that our freedom was made possible by the late and great, Nelson Mandela, and many freedom fighters. This month we commemorate Freedom Day. April 27th was an iconic day in our South African history. Our first democratic elections took place, and we had the freedom to vote. With that, also came the freedom of choice, which changed our lives and our country.
As Madiba himself said, “for to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.”
Let’s heed Madiba’s call and live life with respect for ourselves and our fellow South Africans. Embrace your freedom and your family this month. Book a trip and be young, wild, and free.
