I now reside in Montana, teach gardening, defend youth headed to court & long to return to India. A travel writer would have solved the constant wonder lust. Can’t moan, been to Denali MT, unreal at sunrise, (no film left) Or in India where the humidity forced me to buy a junk camera. Memories are forever. The book will jump upon you. Have a few atop my head. I believe the joy leaps when an elder shares their story. i.e. ‘Oh, I just walked around the Himalayas for 22 years barefoot & slept in caves”. Check out the Tibetien singing bowls on you tube. Onward, it’s all a quest to find ourselves. Best Regards. (comment is to you only) shy Carolyn Albers

That must have been A LOT of work, starting up Xpat and running it for three years. It is very impressive that you also learnt Manderin..fair play!

I want to get into photography, just always kick myself, as I was given a lot of opportunity to learn when I was younger, but I guess its better late than never!
