I’ve learned from my travels

that while we all look different

on the outside, we’re all essen-

tially the same on the inside.

We all want ourselves and our

families to be healthy. We all

want to be successful, either

in career or in happiness. We

all have challenges of some

sort so we do practices to help

us stay balanced. And we all

want the best for our kids and

our loved ones.

When I travel, I like to take
on a different persona entirely,
or inhabit one particular part
of my personality. A completely
new environment affords me
the opportunity to explore the
nuances of my identity in a
playful way and with impu-
nity, because no one knows
who I usually am. Not only
am I taking a vacation from
daily life, but also my daily
self. While I learn about life in
a different part of the planet,
I am also learning something
new about myself.

We asked a selection of this month’s contributors the following question:

What is something unexpected that you have learned from your travels?

Originally I was trained at

the Cordon Bleu in France.

I worked and traveled exten-

sively, experiencing the many

flavors of the world. This

career path ultimately burned

me out and, thankfully, I

transitioned to a lifestyle based

in Yoga and Ayurveda. Today,

as a Certified Iyengar instruc-

tor and Ayurvedic Practitioner,

I still travel; leading retreats

and furthering my spiritual

education but with balance.

My advice to myself and others

when traveling is: do less and

be present.

Whenever I travel, whether

far afield or close to home,

I maintain the attitude that

kinship is available to me

wherever I go if I move with

an undefended heart. I can

see the truth in people’s eyes

and I always find it. I view

Los Angeles as my studio and

playground. Amidst so much

diversity, light is always my

paintbrush, laughter is good

medicine, and connection is

always available.
