Life is about the people you meet and the things you create with them

Live your dream and share your passion

When you eat, appreciate every last bite

Some opportunities only come only once-seize them

Laugh everyday

Believe in magic

Love with all your heart

Be true to who you are

Smile often and be grateful

…and finally make every moment count

MY WORLD ODYSSEY FINALLY CLOSES-FOR GOOD



I know I have said this before and you have heard it all before. 
But this time it is the very last day of Bernie’s World Odyssey. 
This is it.

I have had an amazing journey that has seen me travel to all 7 continents, visited over 65 countries, thousands of kilometres travelled by air, sea and land.  I have seen things that I will never forget, I have met amazing people who became friends for life and I have experienced a life that not many people get the privilege to live.

I am thankful-to the core. 
Thankful to my mum.
Thankful to the people who support me, no matter what craziness I get myself into.
Thankful to a world that has looked after me during my travels.
And thankful to each and every new day that dawns and I get to experience.

Travelling is not all rainbows and sunshine but I wouldn’t replace it for anything else in this world. 

Even though it is time to close this book, there are so many chapters that have made this book my finest to date.  I now embark on a new journey and I have a new book for the occasion.  Please come and visit me at www.berniesafricanodyssey.blogspot.com where I will continue to write about my journey, discoveries and life as I head into unknown territory.  Everything I have done, seen and met has bought me to this moment in time.  All of it, the good the bad and the ugly of it all.  It has shaped me, I feel like I am a better person for the experience and I hope to continue to be so as my life moves forward.

A new culture, a new country and a new continent.
And I am scared. 
But as they say “Fortune Favours the Brave”.  So I have my AUSTRALIAN passport, I have my head held high, my 60kg packed and a friend to meet me when I arrive into Nairobi. 
What else could a girl need? 

I would like to thank all my readers.  As of this morning I have had 45,665 people click on my blog.  To the repeat readers and the support that has been shown to me over my 22 months away-thank you.  I would like to share a post that I got yesterday and I think it sums up my feelings exactly.  Thanks to Claire for the kind words, they really had an impact on me:

 "You are driving to the mountain, there is lots of fog and you are thinking of turning around and driving back, there is even more fog and you think that's it's I am definitely turning around and driving back. Don't turn back keep driving the fog will clear and the view of the mountain is amazing and you will be so glad you never turned back"   

So it is farewell from Bernie’s World Odyssey.  I am sure in the future the site will be added to again.  A long way down the road.  But for now, it is time to plant these feet for a while and if the truth be told I am looking forward to it.

Thank you, to you all. 
Love and friendship always
Bernie xxxxx
