3 hrs 9 mins | BODY, MIND and SPIRIT | HealingWhat is compassion?
Something alive perhaps, that can only be understood in practice. So often confused with pity or the self-sacrificing impulse to take on another’s burden, to make things better, to fix. It takes strength and delicacy and it doesn’t mean giving away your life savings.

The fourth in the Camino de la Luna series by Pearl Howie.
From Genoa (or Genova), through Rome and on to Sicily, I finally make it back to London and from there continue falling forwards to South East Asia, hoping for a soft landing in Sri Lanka.
It's in Sri Lanka that I open my heart and discover a new understanding of what compassion is…
Perfect for those who enjoy an adventure travel story and want to know what it's really like to take off round the world with a rucksack.
