5. Tell us briefly the travel story you shared in LOST.
Part of a longer story about traveling from Phnom Penh, Cambodia, to Fenghuang, China (Phoenix Ancient Town). Mostly this is about the insanity of trying to buy train tickets when you don’t speak the language – and at the end of the semester, at that. In other words, 500,000,000 college students are also buying tickets, all at the same time. But we got there in spite of it all.

The insanity.

7. What do you hate about travel?
The insanity.

8. Do you like to travel alone or with people? Why?
Alone. I only have to put up with my insanity.

9. What do you think about during travel?
Love. Beauty. Life. People. How lovely the world is when we let it be.

10. Any future travel plans?
Book tour in the USA this summer. Ugh. But on the horizon, Egypt, Italy, Bulgaria. And more travel in China. Tibet.
