In 2012, I summitted Mt. Kilimanjaro to fight cancer, got promoted, and adopted my new dog from the Austin Humane Society. What will 2013 bring? I hope many more exciting things. But one thing is for sure: I’ll never stop searching.

What Compels Us to Travel?

This blog rings so true for me right now. Ilan Stavans and Joshua Ellison write about how traveling deepens our understanding of the world, as they claim that “our wandering is meant to lead back toward ourselves. This is the paradox: we set out on adventures to gain deeper access to ourselves; we travel to transcend our own limitations. Travel should be an art through which our restlessness finds expression. We must bring back the idea of travel as a search.”
