Our journey involved several border crossing - going … [Read more...]

Giant Serpent and Scorpion Sculptures in Borrego Springs, CA

May 15, 2019 by Alexandra PlaceLeave a Comment

The Search is On The road trip from Palm Desert to Galleta Meadows is speckled with rolling hills, dramatic crevices, and a few ocotillos. We saw a couple four wheelers and an off road motocross trail, but the drive is rural, i.e. make sure to fill up on gas beforehand. This was my first trip into the desert and my interest was piqued -- I needed to see these massive desert sculptures for myself. We put 'Galleta Meadows' in the GPS and drove … [Read more...]

The difference between traveling and moving to another country

May 8, 2019 by Harry Starke1 Comment

Traveling means there is an end date, a return date and a conscious or an unconscious countdown on the back of your mind. Travel makes you brave, adventurous, and daring because of the reassurance of coming back. Moving to another country, on the other hand, is trying to put your roots in soils, which are not your own. It means that you keep home out of your mind because if you think too much about the familiar, warm, and comforting world you … [Read more...]
