Alm you need is Love
Laos — November 2022 What would the world be like if we cared more? About ourselves, about each other, about our environment. A stark contrast I’ve seen between East vs West culture is the sense of community. In western culture, we argue over who’s responsible for paying for our sick and poor or where they…

Let’s fight
Thailand — November 2022 I went to my first Muay Thai class in Thailand with no expectations. Would I learn? Would I just get my cardio in? Would I like it? Would the boys beat me up? I truly didn’t know… but I’m happy to report that it really changed my thinking on martial arts…

She’s so highhh
Himalayas — October 2022 As per my last post in India… Good news! I have found fresh air in the Himalayas in Nepal! Bad news… I spent much of my time above 3,000 meters elevation, thus working extra hard to take in that poorly oxygenated fresh air. Let’s discuss the age old question, What happens…

Take my breath away
India — October 2022 Intoxicating India. Had the pleasure of spending three whirlwind weeks exploring Northern Indias colorful cities.

Work it Girls
Jordan — September 2022 While in Jordan, I visited Safi Kitchen for lunch- a wonderful place and organization that produces their own food and supports local women’s education.

Santorini Stoicism
Cyclades — August 2022 Before landing in Santorini, I was lucky to spend the day wandering around Athens. The ancient home to democracy, geometry, the marathon, and my favorite school of philosophy – Stoicism. I walked around the ancient agora where Zeno originally preached Stoic principles two thousand years ago. Stoicism gets a bad rap…

Rwandan Reconciliation
Rwanda— August 2022 Reconciliation is rare and takes remarkable strength from all involved. By definition it is the “re-formation of good relations.” This was most evident in my visit to Rwanda. Most known for the 1994 genocide, the country now boasts low levels of corruption, gender equality, and is one of the safest countries in…

Empower the Women
Kenya — August 2022 There can be no equality without women’s equality. I’m inspired to write this by my guide the past month- Mama Pesh- the only GAdventures female East African tour guide. Not only is she pushing boundaries for women, but is also inspiring her own daughter, females in her community, and woman on…
