I don't know the exact moment when I let some of my reservations go but I think it happened when I was on the back of a motoconcho (motorcycle) without a helmut zipping up a mountain in the Dominican Republic.
My longer than normal hair whipped around me; with my sunglasses on, I would tilt my head upward to see the sun and the sky above. I would breath in the warm air and feel my excitement radiate around me! I felt like a model ~ a free spirit! It was fantastic!
My destination was an elementary school at the top of a mountain and as we whizzed by colourful houses and maneuvered down tight streets - I realized that this was by far my greatest adventure! And my style changed as a result of it!
I went to rap and reggaeton concerts, watched flamenco dancing, frequented tropical beaches, danced merengue and bachata ~ all of which required a little loosening up from my Canadian ways :)
So any advice I can give on creating wellness when volunteering would be to let loose, avoid judging other ways, experiment, try out some new clothes, make-up and dance moves!
Coincidentally, I did end up staying a lot longer than anticipated, taking a year off to write and coach & did meet the most amazing man!! The man of my dreams :) All is possible!
Enjoy! & Embrace Your Life!
