At the mention of travel, there is always something or someone that rises up to block our path towards the journey we’ve been dreaming about. Whether it be money, jobs, family or friends, these things or people can cause doubt and make us feel the journey isn’t possible. Lisa Chavis and Cheryl MacDonald are two women and two friends who prove that travel is possible, despite the naysayers and other obstacles. In What Boundaries? Live Your Dream! Lisa and Cheryl fulfill their dream of traveling around the world and writing about it and hope to inspire others to fulfill their dreams as well, even if it means giving up the comfortable life.
Lisa and Cheryl are two peas in a pod – one is the planner and one is the follower. Readers will recognize themselves in either one of these ladies. Their contrasting personalities turn out to be the perfect combination as they road trip through Austria, Germany, France, and Italy. However, whether they are at Oktoberfest in Germany or La Tomatina festival in Spain, they both approach each event or city with so much eagerness and excitement and are always grateful that this is their life and that they have the chance to go on a trip like this.
They never take anything for granted either. They remind readers that taking the risk of going on a big trip reminds you of how important the little things are like a proper working dryer or knowing exactly how to get from Point A to Point B. You will laugh and learn that a good tip for drying your clothes is hanging them from the back of your car as you are whizzing down the freeway and I’m pretty sure they could guide you down the backroads of some obscure town to get you to your hostel if you need directions- they got lost and found their way so many times. They found more than their way through Europe though and realized that no matter how old you are, you can still make changes in your life and achieve dreams you never thought possible.
Lisa and Cheryl have blogged for Wanderlust and Lipstick and you can now follow their new adventures at What Boundaries?.
