The Adventure is the Adversity
The unknown is something that you can only ever fear or embrace. The open road. The journey. Unrelenting tarmac, yourself, your few meager possessions and your ride. Nothing is more evocative of the freedom and myth of the American Dream.

Top Resorts for Honeymooners in Himachal Pradesh :- My Trip My Way
Located at an elevation of 2276 meters above sea level, Shimla is nestled majestically in the lap of the Himalayas. The pleasant weather of this place rightfully made it the summer capital of British India. The hill town still features Victorian architecture and colonial-influenced buildings that remind us of the bygone British era.

Not Home At Home
There are many lessons I have learned on the road. In Ukraine I paid my first bribe after being thrown in jail for no discernible reason. In Uganda I learned how to ride a motorcycle. In France, I learned French. I fell in love a lot on the road too. I learned how to say goodbye. And I also learned that sometimes it is both easier and better to not bother with goodbyes. The road taught me self-reliance. There was no one to help me change a flat tire in Serbia. I learned to make fast friends. Intense, often painfully brief, friendships bound to end from the beginning because I was always leaving. Over the last five years I have traveled to over forty-five countries. Usually I traveled alone. I’ve grown used to the feeling of being out of place. Of not knowing the local language or customs.

A Chinese-American Fish out of Japanese Waters
I met Yuki when I lived in the dorms while studying at the University of Washington. She is Japanese but had lived in Hong Kong as a teenager. I am ethnically Chinese, raised in America, but have some family in Hong Kong. We felt a shared connection. One of the first things that Yuki told me is that she assumed that I was Japanese!

What Signs?
It was a casual Saturday on my day off from my job at the Air Force base back in the early 1990s. Garden of the Gods was a popular spot for me to explore and I often went alone as no one in my unit was interested in going hiking or mountain biking with me. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon and I made my way along the trails, passed by the visitor center, then around to discover even more trails and soon found one that led me to the massive rock formations.

What Travel Taught Me About Navigating a Crisis
Hard times test us all When everything falls apart, we all become the sum of the things we’ve learned. And how we deal with a crisis depends heavily on what we’ve learned about ourselves and the world around us.
