The world where you can go out and serve is still out there. Just because I came back to Seattle, doesn’t mean that it went away. The hunger that I felt to take on the trip to India and serve the greater good is replaced with a feeling of accomplishment, but it’s all still out… [Read more…]

Apr 13: Solang Bouldering Bouldering is hard. I’ve mentioned this before, but I’m still amazed at how some guys can pull off some huge moves on very small holds.

Continuing on the previous travels with Nate… Apr 6: Delhi to Vashihst The 6:30 am flight to Bhunter came way too early.

(Ed. Note: This wedding occurred on the 11th - 14th of March.) If Santosh’s wedding was all about dedication, and the Goa wedding was all about a big party, then the wedding of Yeshesvini (Vini for short) and Hanspreet was marked by a sense extraordinary love. The marriage of Vini and Hanspreet is one that… [Read more…]

I just stood there, stunned for a moment when the entrance clerk said the cover charge was 2,500 rupees. That’s $55. Even if the cover can be used towards my drinks, that’s an audacious amount – especially in India. The ultra-modern white and blue glow reflected off the white skin of my face. The “thump,… [Read more…]

Hampi was calling me to come back. Stunning scenery. Sprawling temples. And world-class bouldering are only part of the draw. There’s also this feeling I have the moment I arrive there. It’s exactly how I want to feel…for at least for one moment…every day of my life. Pure. Simple. Freedom. It’s a sensation that… [Read more…]
