Interesting that no-one is willing to bite on this one. I looked at it earlier and thought there's stuff here that I would prefer to keep private from an online forum. But to get the ball rolling I have got a couple for the last question.
5. Life changing or profound moment/s
At around 20 years of age I went on trek through Nepal. Our tour group was lucky enough to go on a new route that had not been opened up to tourists before. We saw many villagers living in single room mud huts. The kids would run around happy and smiling and the adults where friendly and cheerful. It made me realise that happiness is a state of mind.
You don't actually need a lot to live. A roof over your head and a few pots and pans to cook a meal. Despite what many here suggest, I am not particularly materialistic and don't have to have the flashest of everything, just to keep up with the Joneses ( Whoever they are ). In fact I,m probably the opposite. My clothes are full of holes, my house is modest and I keep my vehicles until they are totally worn out.
The other experience I had on this trip was a near death experience when a white water raft I was riding in partially capsized in rapids. The river was several hundred metres wide and running at full force after recent tropical rains. I was sucked to the bottom of the river perhaps 30 metres deep and bouncing along the rocks etc on the floor of the river. Apparently I was under water for a considerable time and travelled around half a kilometer underwater. I thought it was goodnight nurse and this was genuinely going to be the end of the party. I was perfectly calm, peaceful and unafraid. It has made me view death differently. I am no longer concerned about dying and treat my own mortality in rather blase fashion which most other people don't understand and are almost offended by.
