The Road To Kathmandu

By Chris 4 Comments

34729655Really looking forward to our trip to Kathmandu in November.

Sue and I are presenting our AQ/KQ workshop at the 2009 World Appreciative Inquiry Conference in Nepal.

This is our first time presenting overseas and it has been a dream of ours since we started working together four years ago.

Traveling overseas on a regular basis has been a dream of mine for many years. I don’t consider it work because it feels like an adventure. Meeting new people and discovering new places.

We hope to make overseas travel a regular event  and next year we are looking at going to the USA.

For Kathmandu, I’ll bring my new camera along and take a few shots.

And I will be able to meet Sue’s friends from the Appreciative Inquiry community. All good eggs, from what I’ve been told :)

It’s funny how things work out. Six months ago, traveling overseas was out of the question. We simply could not afford it. It was still a dream

Three months ago, several major projects came in and suddenly we could afford to go.

I suppose to achieve major goals you need to;

  • dream
  • work hard
  • trust the process

When we get back from Kathmandu I’ll write a post about our adventures and share some photos with you.
