		<description>This is a great article, that not only I believe in but also share. In our travel site we are committed to help and encourage others use traveling as a way of hope, joy and health. I lost my Mother this year, she had an uncurable billiar cancer. One of her dreams was to see Rome. The family saved and took her to that trip, that kept her excited and motivated to live way longer than any doctor could have expected. A week after her trip she said goodbye, but left with us a tremendous message of courage and hope. Nothing is impossible. 

We are committed, stay tuned, for UHave2Go! will act on it.

Much Love,

Fernando.</description>

		<description>Hi there.. that&#039;s a lovely article, which I could really relate to.

I have quit my job and/or boyfriend on a few occasions now, and have hit the road to go on a travel adventure of some kind...  what amazes me is that each time when I return home, and apply for a job, I manage to secure better jobs with better pay each time, even though my skills relevant to the positions remain unchanged.  The only difference has been my increased confidence, and increased life experience.

I find that I grow so much as a person when I travel, no matter where I go... 

In terms of travelling being healing a force..  I think that removing yourself from the stresses of every day life, and placing yourself somewhere new, enables you to perhaps adopt more of an observer role.. so you can look at your problems/worries/loss from a much calmer perspective, and are better placed to deal with the emotions you face..  

When travelling you give yourself to very precious commodities - time and space - plus you meet so many inspiring and supportive people along the way - it HAS to be a healing experience...

		<description>Thanks for sharing your story Jane, and for your helpful advice Dan.  I&#039;m happy (as I&#039;m sure the author is) that this article has resonated with you and other readers.  I suppose that&#039;s really why I seek out these pieces to publish: you put out thoughtful, beautiful stories, and hope it inspires others to make the world a better place.</description>

		<description>I agree with most of what you said, Tania, but then again, you always take your problems, be it depression or relationship problems or whatever, with you and if you travel with the purpose of solving them it probably won&#039;t work. But that&#039;s just my humble opinion.

Beautifully written!</description>

		<description>The timing of this article couldn&#039;t be better for me. It&#039;s given a bit more confidence that I really needed.</description>

		<description>Jane,

My condolences in your time of loss.

With so much change coming so quickly, it&#039;s no wonder you feel spun around.  I don&#039;t think it&#039;s by accident you came here to get your bearings.  Quite a few travelers in this network begin their journey with a direction in mind, while others find a new way after they&#039;ve been lost for a time.  It can be difficult when you&#039;re not sure where you&#039;re going or what will happen next, but you can get a lot of insight from those who&#039;ve managed to turn a rough going into something affirmative.

With that in mind, I&#039;d like to offer some advice: look around you, right where you are.  You may be surprised where you find a sympathetic ear, someone who&#039;s also searching and would be glad to have company.  Or you may catch a glimpse of something meaningful that was hidden until now, and let it energize you.  What&#039;s important is to keep going at your own pace, let things settle on their own, and not give up.

There&#039;s a moment down the road where it&#039;s not quite as uphill as before, and a little less gray than it had been.  As long as you hold on to that, you will find your way again.  And always remember that when someone else was also looking for their way, their moment came - and it was you.

All my best to you in your travels, Jane.</description>

		<description>Dear Tania,

I was looking for a place to escape here to to deal with my own lack of purpose and the despair brought on by the loss of my mother recently, buried on one day and having had to put my beloved Maltese Cassie who was my beautiful Angel and friend for fourteen years to sleep the very next day while also terminating a long-term useless relationship simultaneously.  I&#039;ve depended on my Christian convictions to get me through this crisis and there has been some limited support from a few.  I had been to Europe a while back and had experienced the euphoria that can accompany a fresh perspective that travel can impart and I&#039;m hoping to find something somewhere that may do the same since I&#039;m in need for being refreshed by newfound beauty in seeing beautiful mountains or whatever I can see to inspire me.</description>
