22. Passion for Orkney

Last edited Sat Sep 3, 2016, 02:28 PM - Edit history (7)

Hello!!

I write to confirm, as I think you imagine, that I'm in love (deeply) with Orkney. I assure that. Since I "discovered" Orkney, a new world started for me. I can't think in other things. I have Orkney always in my mind (and in my heart).

I say that ("a new world started for me&quot because I had a difficult life and I've found the place where I want to be (I need a new place to start a new life). Examples as a difficulties in my life: When I was 21 I had a terrible car accident -two months in coma, six years without working, loooooots of injuries, "friends" left me alone,....- and now I'm quite well. Thanks to God I have an excellent wife and I had two children (a girl and a boy). I can do almost a normal life; as a "memories" of my accident I have to say that I can't run, I see double to the right hand side, but I'M ALIVE. I appreciate a lot my life (and the one of my family) and I want to enjoy places where I am, and the appearance of Orkney in my life it's a miracle. It's where I would like to be until I die (as an old person), and I would like to be buried in Orkney. I have the sensation that I have lived there in other life, I have an special connection with Orkney. I think that I belong to that archipelago and I don't belong to the country I am now; I've born here, and doctors from here saved my life, but my heart and my mind are in Orkney.

When I stayed in Kirkwall (from 01/07/2016 to 09/07/2016. I worked -and enjoyed a lot- in the Ness of Brodgar and in The Cairns, in South Ronaldsay), while I was going to Kirkwall from the B&B where I was (9 Craigifield) I saw that the shore was dirty of all kind of rubbish and I have written to Orkney (I don't know if to the correct place) to offer myself to clean all the coastline of Kirkwall, of Mainland, of all Orkney. I don't know what to do to go there for living.

I know that I have a family here (I'll never forget them), but I'll come every time as I can to see them. My heart is broken in two parts; one half for my family and the other part for Orkney.

I've tried, too, to open a travel agency to go only to Orkney from Spain. But I don't have experience, I don't have contacts, I'm not an official tourist guide, and all those things "go against me". I don't know how can I convert my passion for Orkney as my way of living.

If you send me a private message to [e-mail] , I'll send you a link to a "book" (201 pages) I've done about my travel to Orkney. That book has few writing, but lots of photos. I'm sure you will enjoy it.

I've changed my opinion. Here you have the link to access to the English version of "my book":

Enjoy it!!! (Except my honeymoon, it's the best travel I've ever done)

LAST QUESTION: Where are you from?
