Statement

I am writing this blog to share the challenges and rewards of travelling off the beaten track, and the warm wonderful connections with people on the road. With internet connections almost everywhere, traveling independently is so doable

This blog is also about that feeling of transcendence that a few places on earth evoke. I want to share the powerful impact these places had on me as well as the adventures of finding them. The lessons learned on the road, the motivation, and the longing to experience that deep oneness/unity of life. And, of course, the great food and fun.
