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.

  2. What a cool picture! There is a piece of the Berlin Wall at A&M (at least I think that is what it is!) and I loved looking at it and seeing such a great piece of history. My husband spent 9 months in New Zealand after college and loved it- have you been there?

  3. Sounds like you have seen a lot and been to a lot of places. I am interested to hear about your adventures. I am curious ... what is SRUTYA? Is it a name? Does it have a special meaning?

  5. I spent 8 months in New Zealand on one trip. I especially fell in love with the south island. Pictures on that trip coming soon.
    Srutya is a Sanskrit word meaning deeds worthy of retelling.
    Ok maybe a little conceited on my part to use that word:-)
    I truly love traveling both for the adventures and to learn from other cultures. Thank you for enjoying so far.....more adventures soon......
