You a wheelchair user 24/7 bro, or just for mobility when you're out and about ? One of my first (proper) jobs was working at a Physical and Sensory disabilities unit back in London and I remember taking a wheelchair out to go to the shops, just to see how difficult it would be. **** me, it's tough work. Having to propel yourself along is hard enough, but the way pavements undulate with slopes, uneven slabs, broken parts etc. Then having to cross the road at a drop kerb point and praying that there's another drop kerb the other side. Then when you do get to the shops, hoping that there's not a step up or down to get inside and then having to manoeurve a chair around those isles. It was such an eye opener into how people take their mobility for granted.
Planning a trip to Japan when all of this is over. Had it on my radar for a while now. Not too worried about seeing Cities, but keen to get to Kyushu and see Temples, mountains and Volcanos etc. There's also a thriving surf scene out there too. Will be something to plan and look forward to
Sounds epic tbh I still need to see the Northern lights one day soon when I can plan it. Another trip in the pipeline is a train journey across Pakistan with my eldest and couple of my brothers. Something we’ve wanted to do for a long time. Not really seen that country properly. The visits back usually consist of staying with family retreating to my parents village, totally different experience.
That train trip sounds amazing bru. I'd love to go to Pakistan. Always wanted to do a trip through Nepal, Northern India and Pakistan. Might be one for when my little un is a bit older. I bet the trip back to your folk's village is a massive world away from Hudds. They in a rural part of Pakistan ?
Proper village, no roads and surrounded by barren land about half hour away from the nearest town for shopping. Live off livestock n vegetation no gimmicks. It’s an experience.
Sounds a bit like a place called Imsouane that I used to go to in Morocco. Right off the beaten track on the west coast at the bottom of a mountain range. It's changed a bit now, but when I first started going, there was no electricity or running water. We had a well and 3 buckets of fresh water per day to cook and wash food with. Food was Goat, Chicken, Lamb and seafood. All sourced within a couple of hundred yards of the house. I am perfectly happy living in an environment like that. The dry weather makes it easier, apart from having to be ultra conservative with fresh water.
