What most excites you about India and Nepal?
I absolutely love the intricate (sometimes chaotic) tapestry of life that Nepal and India present. There is simply always something to learn in both countries. This would be enough to keep me coming back, but both countries also are home to some of the most kind, welcoming, and spiritually strong people I have met. Having a chance to interact with our Nepali and Indian friends in their home is priceless.
What is important to you?
My family has to take the top spot. The second would be helping others find the same curiosity about our world that I have.
How would you spend your time, if money were no object?
I would love to travel the world with my wife and help people tell their stories to others. When we really understand another’s experience it bridges our differences and brings us closer together.
What do you want to be better at?
Consistently being loving to others.
