opportunity perspective rich
Travel is rich with learning opportunities, and the ultimate sourvenir is a broader perspective.
childhood age matter
It's never too late to have a happy childhood, and age only matters if you're a cheese.
humanity essentials culture
As a traveler, I've often found that the more a culture differs from my own, the more I am struck by its essential humanity.
optimistic positivity stay-positive
Be fanatically positive and militantly optimistic. If something is not to your liking, change your liking.
home giving empathy
I travel around the world in a way that tries to open my mind and give me empathy and inspire me to come home and make this world a better place.
weed world cannabis
I have used cannabis all over the world.
adventure lasts source
Travel is intensified living … and one of the last great sources of legal adventure.
college luxury leader
Even in challenging economic times, making sure that study abroad is part of our college students' education is a vital investment. If we want a new generation of leaders and innovators who can be effective in an ever more globalized world, sending our students overseas is not a luxury. It's a necessity.
fun attitude risk
Like skiing with bent knees makes the moguls fun, you need to take risks, get out of your comfort zone, have a positive attitude, and enjoy the bumps in the road. I like to say that if things aren’t to your liking, change your liking.
dream new-year reality
I have a New Year's tradition. I lay all my travel dreams on the table, sort them out, prioritize, and begin the process of turning those dreams into reality.
home thinking self
Travel challenges truths that we were raised thinking were self-evident and God-given. Leaving home, we learn other people find different truths to be self-evident. We realize that it just makes sense to give everyone a little wiggle room.
unique helping efficiency
I've got an efficiency and a guerrilla approach ... plus a unique synergy where everything I do helps everything else because it's overlapping.
communication self consciousness
Self-consciousness kills communication.
fun believe apology
I believe, very strongly, that it is the responsible, adult, recreational, no apologies necessary, 'it just makes my music more fun,' recreational use of marijuana is a civil liberty.
