Love Letter #27: Korea nostalgia and a different type of solo traveler
Dear Love, It’s been some time since I’ve written to you. I haven’t forgotten. You are still in my heart and dreams. But life doesn’t always go just as we predict. Well, I couldn’t be with you this fall, but I’m sending my mother to you instead ( via a Korean Drama Tour)! Please be [...]
Love Letter #26: Taking a break from Long-term travel & Summer Musical Camps in Korea
Dear Love,
This summer I got to volunteer at a English musical summer camp. The magic in life is all about believing and having faith in making the impossible possible.
Love Letters #16-25: Where have I been in the past 7 months?
I’ve cheated you, my dear readers. I haven’t been good at taking you with me on my travels. Sorry. So here’s an update on my travels: Where have I been after India? Without giving away all my stories just yet, here’s a summary of highlights and places I’ve been to.
Love Letter #15: Long-term travel & the challenges of blogging on the road
The goal of blogging-on-the-road is a massive beast!
Not a simple task. It’s not that the countries I’ve traveled after India weren’t as amazing, but I’ve quickly learned that it’s nearly impossible for me to take you through my journey as I’m experiencing it.

Love Letter #13: Where is Life in India?
Dear Love,
When I was at temple, I met a learned man who stopped and asked me, where I was going. He held out a notepad and asks me to tell him what I saw….
I read the line before me.
“Guru-ji, I hope I passed your test with my read,” I said with a wink.
Love Letter #12: Passion & Voice for Tibetans in Dharamsala
If a tree falls in the woods but no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
What is a voice crying for help if it cannot make its way beyond the forest? A passion can be fiery but its voice must be able to spread like wildfire in order to have a bigger effect. It must spark beyond the home, beyond its small community…
