CURRENT MISSION

bottles of wine over 'brief' stories about travel and life.

ABOUT ME

I met a women last year in thailand who was 65 and had just finished hiking Kilimanjaro and was living with me on a visit through the jungle to spend some time with a hill tribe called the Karen. She explained to me that she was trying to understand herself and her role in societal context by traveling. I didn't understand it at first but now I do.

Traveling is not just about yourself. It is about the people you meet and the person that you constantly bloom into in this journey through life; the lives you effect including your own is the legacy that lives on, this small blue marble in a vast expanse of space that we share with 6.5 billion other living beings and every drop of water, every ray of sun and things that live and things that just are. live well for yourself; live well for others.
