Where would you go?
Where would you go if you could travel for a year, if you could choose twelve destinations anywhere in the world to spend a month in each? Sidney, Buenos Aires, Mumbai, Shanghai, Honolulu, San Francisco, London, Copenhagen, Barcelona, Tel Aviv, Addis Ababa, Havana? I have been ruminating about the twelve destinations ever since reading MeikeContinue reading “Where would you go?”
JUST ANOTHER SUNSET IN THE KAROO …

Wild
Of all the things I’d been skeptical about, I didn’t feel skeptical about this: the wilderness had a clarity that included me. WILD From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed one of the best books I’ve read in the last year or so 🙂 Enjoy!
