She's met many of her greatest teachers while hiking across Costa Rica and Nicaragua, traveling through the Great Rift Valley in a pickup truck, showering beneath a waterfall in Gracias, Lempira, carrying a giant silk blanket across Morocco on her back, climbing Machu Picchu, sleeping under the stars in the Sahara, listening to an ancient love story in Ollantaytambo, Occupying Wall Street, marching for the collective rights of Stateless Peoples in the Amazon rainforest, swimming with sea lions in the Galápagos, riding a motorbike in Kenya, flying in a Cessna over Nazca, missing a flight in Lima, leaving violets on Jim Morrison’s grave, walking the paths of the Berlin Wall and the DMZ, standing on exact opposite sides of la Mitad del Mundo, and studying with a community of monks at Beopjusa Temple. To this day, the most satisfying job she's ever had was sticking glue dots on wedding invitations at a stationer in a Chicago suburb. |
