So it's been quite some time since our last post, and you may be wondering what we've been up to. We have slowed down the pace a little from the first part of our trip, but it has still been an adventure, of its own kind.

As non-trekkers, we are not sure why we decided that a 17 day trek through Nepal would be a good starting point, but we are so glad we did - despite what our journals might say...

After Egypt it was off to Nepal, 3 flights stopping in 2 different middle eastern countries... what could go wrong.

We recently visited Plitvice Lakes National Park. A Unesco Heritage site, marveled for it's natural beauty. As with most of the sites we have seen over our trip, we needed to fight our way through Peak Season to get there, and though it was beautiful, my memories of this place will not be of its majesty but of something else...

How often do we truly feel pure joy? I would argue it isn't enough. I want find more moments in my life where I feel like a child chasing bubbles in the backyard on a warm summer day.

They say that people travel to find themselves. I always thought this was one of those proverbial sayings based on an ironic twist of words. Something you might hear from a life long monk or Karate Sensei. Then I went traveling with my wife Holly.
