Why I wanna do this...

"Dearest Umberto!

Giving you this book is like sharing a little part of me. Enjoy!

I love you!"

These were the words a very good friend of mine wrote on the front page of the book "The Celestine Prophecy" that changed a lot in me. This was in December 2003.

When I first read the book I was truly inspired by the story and the figurative way of describing the places in this masterpiece. I felt like a part of the story and I think I read the book in a few days only. From that day on I continued reading the subsequent books that were released - I literally devoured them!

Anyhow - while reading "The Celestine Prophecy" there were several moments I felt the urge to go and see those places described in the book - not knowing if all of them existed for real or if they were only fictitious. But that couldn't stop me. I knew that I had to go there to find out what this country had to offer to me personally.

After years this feeling has become stronger and louder in my mind. I started to read the book again and now - more than before - I know I have to go there.

Sometimes you don't know why you have to do things...it's like an intuition that leads you. And who knows the book knows what I'm talking about. Maybe it's time to trust these instincts, to follow a feeling not knowing what will happen.

That is so exciting!
