Gap Year Experiences

Travelling with Pepper

Thursday 28 August 2008

Welcome to the new and renamed Pepper Travel Blog. For those of you who are loyal blog readers you might notice slight changes in the layout of this blog. As we are steadily growing with all of your support out there, we are constantly evolving and moving towards becoming a more fully rounded travel company. Always with the style and quality that Pepper brings to all its trips and never forgetting our unofficial motto of providing unique and amazing experiences in everything we do. From this blog we hope to keep you up to date with anything interesting and inspiring in the world of travel and Pepper. We have a great following of loyal readers at the moment and we hope that lots more of you stumble upon his blog, gain something from it and keep coming back!

There are so many places out there to see, thinking about them all makes me want to get up and go immediately! Just today, I have heard from various friends around the world. One studying in China, a few others surfing the magical waves of the Mentawai Islands in Indonesia, someone about to leave to work on the pure white beaches of the Caribbean and even one who is busy preparing for a 5 day run across the Sahara dessert. It gives me very itchy feet! There is too much out there not to use every single moment available to us taking advantage of it. I hope that we can share as much of this beautiful world as possible with as many of you out there as we can. And that you will love it as much as we do. The travel bug is a hard thing to get rid of once you've caught it, the good news is who wants to? There is nothing more invigorating or amazing than waking up in a completely foreign place with the knowledge that amazing experiences are just around the corner. On that note, I came across this great quote from D.H. Lawrence recently, its a little deep but I really liked it so here it is:
“When we get out of the glass bottle of our ego and when we escape like the squirrels in the cage of our personality and get into the forest again, we shall shiver with cold and fright. But things will happen to us so that we don’t know ourselves. Cool, unlying life will rush in.”

Not only do we love to travel, but we love to talk about it and hear about it as much and as often as possible! So please keep in touch with your thoughts and comments. If there's anything you want to discuss please drop us an email at info@experiencepepper.com. The Pepper office loves nothing more than an interesting email on a Monday morning so please keep them coming thick and fast. To end off, an open road in the middle of the beautiful South African wine-lands (a long way from a desk in London) for anyone out there in need of a little bit of inspiration.Cheers for now,
