“As a bee seeks nectar from all kind of flowers, seek teachings everywhere. Like a deer that finds a quiet place to graze, seek seclusion to digest all that you have gathered. Like a madman beyond all limits, go wherever you please and live like a lion completely free of all fear.” — Ancient Tibetan…
“Dear Universe, You have my full permission to blow me away with miracles.” Last night as I laid awake in the wee hours, from our campsite neighboring the game reserve I heard plop plop on my tent and learned it was monkeys throwing things to check if anyone or anything was inside. Then there was…
I’ve struggled to write this post. Not because I’m not having fun.

I was privileged with great seat mates – a friendly Dutch couple with extensive travel experience, doing their own safari. We chatted amicably, exhausting the places we’ve been and…
Got an early start to catch the train back to the airport. I’m often nervous to navigate public transport in a foreign city but Amsterdam makes it easy. Well-signed, efficient, super affordable, and feeling safe, the train arrives right into the airport. The gate was FULL. I love the various languages, accents and colorful passports;…
