Fantastic posts- and I definitely agree with this one. It is super important to bring what you learn 'out there' back home. Sharing those experiences and your personal growth with others [less-traveled, less-cultured, or simply less-fortunate] is a dharma that brings even more joy to the recipients <i>and</i> the giver. Thanks for the reminder to give back! Hi, Mark- I’m happy to have run across your site this evening! Fantastic posts- and I definitely agree with this one.

The longer I'm on the road, the more I work to keep a strong community (usually not geography specific) around me, and prefer settling in places for weeks/months rather than being on the move. Great point about sharing a good book and insights from your travels. It's so important to be open to letting your travels change you, and in turn, having your actions show the values you've learned.

I'm still deciding when / if I'm going to ever go home!! But, I'm clear that by sharing our travel experiences we can give to a greater audience that may not have the funds or the opportunity to travel at any given moment. Hope all is well w you!! B hey Mark!
