Touching the Brake - A Tour Guide's Journey to South Africa: How I Stopped Chasing Money and Followed My Dream (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781438943435)

Nick Bailey has travelled extensively throughout the world and has many stories to tell of his adventures. Using his travel experience, he became a tour guide in Cape Town entertaining clients with his skills as he guides them around this beautiful city and its surroundings. This, his first book, is set around eight tours of his adopted country, some from Cape Town, some in other provinces of South Africa. He describes his experiences of these tours, the history behind the people, the animals and the scenic countryside. After 26 years working for large companies Nick gave up a successful career in the construction industry to follow his dream. On a path that led him to South Africa, he changed his lifestyle from being governed as an employee to having the complete freedom to make choices, almost on a daily basis. Meeting a few key people started him thinking: "Where am I going with my life?" "Why am I here?" Using his considerable experience of self development courses and further readings he guides us through the changes he has made towards his dream. His message is simple. If a person with an ordinary life can achieve inner peace and satisfaction through simple changes and become extraordinary, then why can't you? This unique book can be read as a form of travel book giving a great insight into the diversity of South Africa as well as following a series of messages the reader may apply to improve their own life.
