Quotes

"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 earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and the 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 Jenkins

"I think over again, my small adventures

My fears; those small ones that seem so big

For all the vital things I had to get and reach

And yet there is only one great thing

The only thing

To live to see the great day that dawns

And the light that fills the world." - ?

"The world doesn't belong to the people who sign up. The world belongs to the people who show up." - ?

"20 years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the things you did." - Mark Twain

"Travel is glamorous only in retrospect" - Paul Theroux

Oh India!

If you are interested, here is the blog I wrote while in India. Enjoy.

There are more pictures now but no editing. Expect spelling errors and run on sentences. That's just how I roll.

Also, for more on India, here's a video I edited, but it's more about the people I was with and our experiences together than India itself. Still, some may find it amusing. Includes: 5 foot squared dance party, traffic stopping white people, hair dreding and dramatic dance montage.
