The spectre of Covid will be with India for a while to come and I am preying that in December 2022 I can finally return to my second and beloved home of Goa.
And so in the meantime I have had to adjust my mindset. The world is currently a dark and difficult place to fulfil our life dreams.
Everything I do now until India’s government says visas are being offered once again and we can return to Goa, is prepare and put everything in place to make my dream of living there a reality,
My first book is due out (finally) in September and I hope to build funds from the sale of the first Hippie Kushi book, as well as the next two books that I have already written.
My hippie clothing business has been struggling during Covid with clubbing, festivals and travel not allowed until recently. I still have two festivals in August and September in which to run market stall pitches to make some well needed cash.
Next year is looking a lot more promising with five festivals so far confirming that I can run a pitch (2022 is definitely looking like a better year).
But in order to carry my stock and equipment to these events I need my own transport.
For that and a few more reasons, that is why my main focus now is starting my driving lessons.
Yes, at the age of 56 I am starting lessons on the 5th of August 2021.
