There are cultures on
every continent that have amulets of good luck as part of their cultures.
Pick a county and you will find a way to avoid bad luck as part of the
country's customs and history. But one country where I saw this literally
everywhere and in the most colorful of ways was Turkey, when I took the trip
Turkeys Magical Hideaways with Overseas Adventure Travel.

There is a legend in
the Andes about a beautiful princess who was whisked away by a Condor never to
return. I think that story can apply to the spirit of any traveler. You can
visit a county and be whisked away by the power and purpose of old traditions
and symbols of the country, and your life will never be the same. The Andean
people and their spirit and simple ways touched me when I took the Overseas Adventure Travel trip Colombia’s Colonial
Jewels and Coffee Triangle. On that trip, especially when I was
appreciating all the art I saw in Bogota and Medellin and connected it to the legend
of the indigenous Muisica people, I felt that in my travels I flew with the
spirit of the condor, both independently and with the group.
