Travelling/exploring - road trips - driving alone in my car, in the middle of nowhere, with all the windows down and music spinning around me - the desert - the ocean - the sound of crickets on a hot summer night - the smell of the air just after it rains - waterfalls - windchimes - new lands - the smell of the air and the forest when you first open your tent in the morning and take a deep breath - books - horses - photography - reading - music - history - dreaming - wine - cheese - sushi - gardening - flipflops - sarongs - language - words - but mostly...MY FRIENDS & FAMILY
It's simple really - real and true and honest people - people that challenge me beyond my boundaries and ask me to see that which lies beyond my reality - lessons - life experience - the human emotion - laughter and a sense of humor - adventure - humility - and everything that lies in between.
