Quotes That Keep Me Going....

"There are only three sports: Bull fighting, motor racing and mountaineering; the rest are merely games." Ernest Hemingway

"Adventure is a path. Real adventure--self-determined, self-motivated, often risky--forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the ear and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind--and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white."
--Mark Jenkin

"The use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are."
--Samuel Johnson

"Tourists don't know where they've been. Travelers don't know where they're going."
--Paul Theroux

"Not all those who wander are lost."
--J.R.R Token

"On a summit the entire world is beneath us, horizons are expanded, and clarity envelops our senses. It is this feeling that the mountaineer seeks, and perhaps it is the feeling that we all seek as we search for love and purpose in our own measured lives. In reaching for the summits of the heart and holding on to them, love and hope transcend the tragedy of our ultimate end." Jennifer Lowe-Anker

I have been away...



Apologies to all as I have been absent for quite some time now. It has been a busy couple of years.... I am now a full time resident of Telluride, CO, a full time mother, a full time wife and a full time entrepreneur. Yes, you read correctly, I am now the ridiculously proud and happy mother of a beautiful two year old girl. And just to be clear, although absent from my blog, I have not strayed from my wanderlust ways.

There is nothing easy about traveling with strollers and pack and plays, NOTHING. But....it is very doable. So listen up all you fellow wanderlusters, don't think parenthood means you have to stay put.

Come on people, we don't want to raise uncultured weenies.  Lead by example and show your children that traveling changes you.  It puts you in places that will force you to care for issues that are much bigger than you. It makes you see that the world is both large and small. And most importantly,   it will teach you to respect pain and suffering.

Help me spread the word!  
PS: Pictures soon to follow!
