Soaring with Eagles, Flying with Turkeys?: An inspirational journey of travel and adventure, helping others across the world

To escape from modern life and do something different had always been Phil Beswick’s dream. Spending a month as a volunteer at a Nepalese orphanage led to him questioning his life’s values and making him determined to turn that dream into reality. So, giving away most of his possessions, he escaped from his suffocating career to set out on a passionate yearlong journey of self-discovery and adventure, helping others around the world. On his travels he took part in various charity and voluntary projects including house building in Sri Lanka, working in an animal rescue centre in Thailand and teaching English in Cambodia. His adventure culminated in an inspirational 798km pilgrimage across Northern Spain, raising money for a charity close to his heart. ‘Soaring with Eagles, Flying with Turkeys?’ is his account of that journey, a true story encompassing every human emotion from tears and laughter to humility and compassion – a truly inspirational story that demonstrates just what the human spirit is capable of.
