It’s just before midnight when we start our hike up Mount Agung, the biggest active volcano in Bali. The driver has dropped us off and left. After about an hour I wonder if I can still go back. My bagpack is heavy, we had to bring 3 liters of water, food and spare clothes for […]
Real Change Isn’t About Fixing Yourself – It’s About Opening The Door To Rebuilding Yourself When people think about recovery, they often think about breaking a bad habit.
