Travel Is Zen

When we travel, we are in the moment. We are completely awake, aware, appreciative, and alive. We are unhurried. We do things that we would not normally do. When we travel, we attain a sudden wellspring of patience, tolerance and humility that eludes us in "everyday" life. Travel is ZEN.

Such a joy to re-connect with Dr. Julie! We first met in Tanzania in 2018, where we hiked 🥾Kilimanjaro, photographed the African night sky, camped on safari 🦒🐘, relaxed on Zanzibar’s endless beaches🏖, and laughed a ton 😆. Here in Colorado,

Here in Colorado, we explored Loch Lomond and talked non-stop for hours (at altitude!) 😛. Happy to see this beautiful, vivacious soul again 🤩! _____________________________ #traveliszen #slowtravel #colorado #hiking #oneseedexpeditions #travelfriends #getoutside #hikergirl

Gwanaksan is challenging, but worth it for the sweeping views of Seoul! There are many routes, but we usually start from Sadang Station (사당역) and the pretty Gwanaksan temple (관악산암). The small red temple at the summit is called Yeonjudae (연주대). ____
