Camino de la Luna - Reconciliation (Part 2)

What divides us? What sets us against each other? What stops us from being able to come home to our true selves? I had found truth in Thailand, discovered another wall inside me and freed another part of my soul. There were things to be done, journeys to be taken, strangers to meet, mistakes and regrets to put right and only some of them were mine. But my mistakes alone were enough to change everything. I had started in Spain, this Camino de la Luna, though it started long before and will not end until I die, but where next? Would I finally cross the equator to the Southern Hemisphere, to Africa and could I ever heal the new wounds in my relationships, could I find reconciliation, or as they call it in South Africa, Ubuntu? Would I ever find peace... Would I ever put down my rucksack? Camino de la Luna is a seven book series (which had to be split into ten for the audiobooks): 'Camino de la Luna - Take What You Need' (parts 1, 2 and 3) 'Camino de la Luna - Unconditional Love' 'Camino de la Luna - Forgiveness' 'Camino de la Luna - Compassion and Self-Compassion' 'Camino de la Luna - Courage' 'Camino de la Luna - Truth' 'Camino de la Luna - Reconciliation' (parts 1 and 2) with a prequel 'Japan Is Very Wonderful' and related book 'free Feeling Real Emotions Everyday' “Thank you so much for including me… your writing is so inspirational. Very emotional reading your journey as if it wasn’t for you I would never ever have explored as much as I have… and… continued to help others as you have done. Keep being amazing Pearl, you are one of a kind...” Selina Wedderburn

Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur, the Cameron Highlands, Kuching, Sarawak, Borneo, Tanjung Jara and Kota Kinab

I had no idea that I would like Malaysia. I even thought I might just fly through Kuala Lumpur and only see the airport. Life had other plans. As I travelled around South East Asia I would keep coming back, each time I would see a new side of Malaysia and I would see Kuala Lumpur differently - after all, each time I was a different person. From the rooftop pool in Kuala Lumpur to the ancient cloud forest in The Cameron Highlands, from orangutans and sun bears in Kuching on one side of Borneo to the sacred mountain Kota Kinabalu on the other, as well as discovering Sucimurni, the ancient principle of wellbeing at Tanjung Jara along the way. Although I started writing these mini-guides to share the hotel, spa and the rest, the retreat in a box I dreamt of when I first began Pearl Escapes, they are also just stories… …for the unadventurous adventurer, as well as the keen explorer, we each have our own way of experiencing life. 'You will come away feeling as if she was sharing with you personally and will want to read more of her life adventures.” “I’ve just booked my first holiday in 13 years!” 'To me, you are a hero... You have learned to take something negative in your life and make it a positive... a gift to others. It doesn't get any better than that. Don't doubt that you are capable of helping others... in terms of other of life's difficulties... What an adventure!' Susan Jeffers, Ph.D., author of 'Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway'

Camino de la Luna - Truth

“The first principle is that you must not fool yourself — and you are the easiest person to fool.” Richard Feynman, Nobel Prize winning physicist The moment I felt my real feelings, back in a Native American healing in 2016, I discovered what a great liar I was. Lonely, depressed, desperate… the lowest of the low… No matter how my life looked to anyone else the only thing that mattered was being real with myself. But I was still lying, so poetically, so romantically, tricking myself, that my lies grew even more dangerous. Luckily life protected me from myself, from acting on what I thought was real. Instead I got on a plane to Spain and started hiking, each step bringing me closer to the truth, which I would finally understand on the other side of the world. Camino de la Luna is a seven book series (which had to be split into ten for the audiobooks): 'Camino de la Luna - Take What You Need' (parts 1, 2 and 3) 'Camino de la Luna - Unconditional Love' 'Camino de la Luna - Forgiveness' 'Camino de la Luna - Compassion and Self-Compassion' 'Camino de la Luna - Courage' 'Camino de la Luna - Truth' 'Camino de la Luna - Reconciliation' (parts 1 and 2) with a prequel 'Japan Is Very Wonderful' and related book 'free Feeling Real Emotions Everyday'

The Cameron Highlands, Malaysia (the Rainforest and the Mossy Forest)

I let go of ever visiting the rainforest, then suddenly I was there. Somewhere I never thought I would be, never thought I would see. Hiding more secrets, more mystery than I ever believed and closer than I imagined. Just a short drive from Kuala Lumpur, I was at a hill station where I could finally breathe, away from the pollution and heat of the city. Around the corner was another forest world, defying discovery, scientific study and sometimes even rescue attempts. Step off the path at your own risk. Although I started writing these mini-guides to share the hotel, spa and the rest, the retreat in a box I dreamt of when I first began Pearl Escapes, they are also just stories… …for the unadventurous adventurer, as well as the keen explorer, we each have our own way of experiencing life.

Camino de la Luna - Courage

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” So said Franklin Delano Roosevelt in his 1933 Inaugural Address when he first became US President. It was a year when almost 1 in 3 were unemployed in the US, a year when a Jewish pacifist called Albert Einstein left Germany to work at Princeton, a year when Hitler became Chancellor of Germany and opened Dachau, the first concentration camp. The money changers, as Roosevelt called them, had created a Great Depression. “Happiness,” he said, “lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.” Having left Sri Lanka, I was about to explore Malaysia, Borneo, Bangkok and, ultimately, visit the almost mythical Kingdom of Bhutan, reported to be the Happiest Place on Earth. I was about to confront my own deepest fear. 'To me, you are a hero... You have learned to take something negative in your life and make it a positive... a gift to others. It doesn't get any better than that. Don't doubt that you are capable of helping others... in terms of other of life's difficulties... What an adventure!' Susan Jeffers, Ph.D., author of 'Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway' From the best selling author of 'Japan Is Very Wonderful,' the 'Camino de la Luna' series and the Pearl Escapes mini-guides. The fifth in this series (or seventh including the self help manual 'free Feeling Real Emotions Everyday' and prequel 'Japan Is Very Wonderful') 'Camino de la Luna – Courage' continues the journey.

Camino de la Luna - Compassion and Self Compassion

What is compassion? Something alive perhaps, that can only be understood in practice. So often confused with pity or the self-sacrificing impulse to take on another’s burden, to make things better, to fix. It takes strength and delicacy and it doesn’t mean giving away your life savings. Self compassion is sometimes the place between pushing through and giving up, the moment we can recognize our true needs, not our desires even if they’re for further suffering. Sometimes the moment we find self compassion is the moment we stop and walk away. I had found forgiveness in Switzerland and now I was heading to friends in Rome before taking the leap to South East Asia, to Sri Lanka, to a new understanding of compassion and self compassion. The fourth in the Camino de la Luna series by Pearl Howie. From Genoa (or Genova), through Rome and on to Sicily, I finally make it back to London and from there continue falling forwards to South East Asia, hoping for a soft landing in Sri Lanka. It's in Sri Lanka that I open my heart and discover a new understanding of what compassion is… Perfect for those who enjoy an adventure travel story and want to know what it's really like to take off round the world with a rucksack.

The Guide to Venice (Murano, Burano, the 100 Year Old Restaurant, the House of Marco Polo, the Canal

I used to get extremely burnt out and couldn’t even handle booking a hotel or flight when I did have time off. I thought “Wouldn’t it be awesome if someone would write a guide that gave you one perfect escape; the hotel, sight, flight and restaurant.” So that’s what I did. (Although this one doesn't have a spa!) My new series of mini-guides, although part of a much longer journey, is specifically designed to give you the precise information, the recipe you need to have the adventure – without getting bogged down with too many choices or details. Venice waits for you. It is the home of the artist, the writer, adventurer or madman (depending on how you look at it) for thousands of years. Their spirit abides, Marco Polo, Da Vinci, Shakespeare, Christie… haunting the canals, which demand exploration and defy explorers. 'You will come away feeling as if she was sharing with you personally and will want to read more of her life adventures.” 'I finally feel like I'm really living, not just surviving.' “I’ve just booked my first holiday in 13 years!” From the Amazon Best Selling author of 'Japan Is Very Wonderful,' the 'Camino de la Luna' series and the Pearl Escapes mini-guides.

Camino de la Luna - Forgiveness

It takes something really powerful to make you leave Hawai’i (or you know, running out of money). I found myself called back to England by my heart, but not for long. It wasn’t yet time to settle, it was time to explore another country I’d once fallen in love with, Croatia and to see if I could find a home, a place to rest and write. I didn’t have any idea quite how much more I had to learn, to understand and this journey was going to show me, above all things, the power of forgiveness. What is forgiveness? Perhaps it’s like the sunrise and the sunset, something we’ve seen and known for a long time, before there was language to explain it, before there was science to explain it. Even when we got it wrong, when we believed the sun moved around the earth, (which was an easy assumption to make), the sun rose and set without interruption, without correcting our misguided beliefs. So I think forgiveness exists, it rises and falls, even when we ignore it, just as we all share unconditional love we’re sometimes blind to. I think we need forgiveness to survive. Without forgiving ourselves for our mistakes, our missteps, we’d never move forward, we’d just sit down and rot in the road. Indeed some people do. And how can we forgive ourselves if we can’t forgive others who have hurt us so much less than we’ve hurt ourselves? Let go, let go, let go, it’s as simple as that and we can forgive even in the midst of the worst abuse, we can use forgiveness to end the cycle of abuse, “abuse begets abuse”, to let go of the need to punish, to be right and, so importantly, the need to keep suffering because of the past. From the Amazon Best Selling author of 'Japan Is Very Wonderful,' the 'Camino de la Luna' series and the Pearl Escapes mini-guides. The third in this series (or fifth including the self help manual 'free Feeling Real Emotions Everyday' and prequel 'Japan Is Very Wonderful') 'Camino de la Luna – Forgiveness' continues the journey.

Camino de la Luna - Take What You Need (Part 3)

This is a book for people who wake up at 5am (or 4am or 3am) worrying. Maybe you don’t call it worrying, maybe you call it planning or organising. Sometimes it is helpful. Sometimes genius and the truth arrives at this time. But sometimes it is just your mind or your ego spinning lies, keeping you awake, freaking out your body, making you sick, torturing you, trying to keep you small. I've been there. Years, months and just hours ago. And it is so wonderful to get over it, to be able to choose to get up and use this time to greet the dawn, to get clarity and change my life, or to soothe the beast and be able to go back to sleep in peace, and wake again knowing that there is nothing to be afraid of, that I am life and my life is perfect and we are all perfect. 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. Through vineyards and, accidentally, up mountains, I walked, and then back by bus and on, trying somehow to follow the yellow arrows of the Way. In the second part, I changed direction, up through the heart of Spain, before wandering through Portugal and the land of the stars, finding my way to the sea and to the Route Portuguese. Onwards and upwards, to the official destination, Santiago, and then a little further to the spiritual destination, Finisterre – the end of the earth. And so I turned homeward, with the warning from Finisterre, that the end of the Camino is just the beginning.
