IN SEARCH OF..............


The purpose of this blog will be to share travels and adventures that I have experienced during my life. At a relatively young age I became very interested in traveling around the world, having adventures and experiencing life. I am not quite sure where this desire came from, since no one in my family had ever traveled, but I spent a large part of my life either having adventures or planning them. This ran the gamut from working in a Kibbutz in Israel, to hitchhiking around Europe, riding my bicycle North of the Artic Circle in Europe,  riding my motorcycle from San Diego to Prudhoe Bay in Alaska, or living in a Ashram in India among others.
Traveling was a way for me to find myself, meditate about meaning of life and enjoy youth to the fullest.  This blog will serve as a chronicle of those times.    
I took this picture in West Berlin, Germany before the Wall was torn down. On the West side the Wall was full of graffiti, but when I visited East Berlin, the Wall was painted a bright white with no graffiti and razor wire preventing people from getting close.
