Along my travels I’ve been fortunate to witness many things, ranging from many wonders of the world to various well-known destinations, but throughout them all, the moments I recall most vividly are within the journey along the way. It’s kind of like football players in the PAC-12 conference; they rarely recall the Rose Bowl game […]
Day 3. As we walk along the Camino towards Santiago we are guided by only yellow arrows. But, it is like they have mind of their own, playing games on you as if they are a long lost pal of Dr. Michael Gervais. For instance, when you have not seen a yellow arrow for over […]
Remember when you ate too much ice cream and your head was throbbing? Well, that is how my legs feel after two days along the Camino De Santiago-#ThrobCity…but like in 2-a-days at Pitt, during training camp in the Pac-12 conference or during a dunk contest, you love it and can’t wait to show up again […]
Chose to walk at night, because why not? We trekked along the river to a little surf town in Portugal. Today, we head north along the Atlantic, guided by the waves I used to see as a child, the taste of salt water that left a never-ending imprint on 10-year old’s taste buds and unexpected […]
Life is a pretty incredible thing. We fall on our face, we get up. We take risks and at times, get rewarded. We meet people serendipitously and sense emotions we never knew existed. At 31, I cannot say I am an expert in anything but I can sit here on the other side of the […]
Along the dusty and muggy trails of Laos I’ve met some amazing people from nations across the globe. One of my favorite things to do on trips is to bump into others who are also on the road without a map, on a path without a plan, on the verge of something they do not […]
Went rock climbing today and must admit, it is much easier than it appears. As a fan of high performance psychology this was the perfect stage to test what we teach at WinForever. As I climbed higher and higher up vertical rock faces with minimal gripping, I felt my heartbeat race and breath shorten. Instantly […]
Today began at 530am as the local monks began their day with a walk through the dimly lit streets receiving offerings of rice from locals. After a bus ride south for a few hours there was just enough sunlight left to get lost in the caves and mountains in Vang Vieng. A new friend and […]
Rode up the Mekong River today to celebrate Christmas. It was a long ride but one that was over in an instant. Got to reflect, explore some caves, and fall in the river while showcasing athleticism that would make my sister look like Russell Wilson. Overall, it was the reminder that life is about those […]
There is a scene in ‘The Motorcycle Diaries’ when the two main characters are in the south of Chile, only accross the river from Argentina. They look across, see the lights flicker and in an act of sheer will one of the young men, Ernesto, decides to swim across to help someone in need and […]
