I own a Michelin Star restaurant in Hong Kong and this is my story of how the most amazing, life changing thing can happen to people who least expect it. This is my story of how I changed since I met Chrissy and "the Life Change Holiday team" a year ago. For a long time I have been depressed, paranoid and totally lacking in self esteem. This was largely due to the death of my first child 10 years ago. I didn't really realise it though until my Counselling Retreat Holiday.
It’s a year since my Life Change Holiday in Chiang Mai. I really can’t believe how quickly it has gone. I have been meaning to update you but somehow I have let the crazy pace of everyday life take over. My life has changed so much in the past year I can’t believe it.

Forbidden Travels to a Forbidden City
Famous French explorer Alexandra David-Neel made history in the early 1900s by walking, disguised as a male beggar, across China and Tibet and into the forbidden and fabled city of Lhasa. She then wrote over 30 books about Eastern religion, philosophy, and her travels, until her death at age 101. It is said that her teachings influenced beat writers Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. She is surely one of the greatest female adventurers of the 20th century, and her travel stories also rank as some of the best travel books of our time. Check out her entire collection of stories and be inspired—we particularly love her journey to Lhasa.

From Peak to Peak
Every state has its highest point, and Matt Moniz has climbed them all. By the age of 12, Matt had already earned the record of being the youngest climber to summit all 50 high points in the United States in the least amount of time. His journey, which lasted just 43 days, took him from the lowest high point in Florida to the highest point in Alaska. Matt's travels have extended beyond the U.S. as well; he has climbed Mount Elbrus in Russia and Mount Kilimanjaro and is planning to hike all of the Seven Summits. In 2014, he became the youngest climber to make the trek up Makalu in the Himalayas, the fifth highest mountain in the world.
