CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life, adventuring the world and my mind

ABOUT ME

I enjoy following my dreams and inspiring others to follow their dreams. Every day of my life is great, just as I feel life is supposed to be. I have travelled and lived in over 40 countries. I speak several languages. I was a Peace Corps Volunteer. I bicycled around the world. I enjoy my work. In fact, I enjoy everything I do. I prefer to enjoy simple things in life, such as vegetarian food and sleeping on the floor.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I have had MANY amazing experiences.
Here's one: I was blown away by my first view of the Himalaya. While bicycling across Tibet, one day after 7 hours uphill with an uncalibrated altimeter (no idea of how far to the top of the Pang-La pass), I came around a turn, looked to the right, and saw the line of ice-caps, a breath-taking view. My jaw dropped in wonder. I was looking at Mt. Everest, Lhotse and two other peaks over 8000 meters (4 out of 14 in the world). I was at 5120 meters at that moment.

教，学，和分享

The one stretch of road that is always free from traffic is "the extra mile."
