"A traveller usually understands that itineraries are pretty useless, admits ignorance, and is open to whatever the road may bring." In 2007 I rode a motorcycle from Maine to the Panama Canal. I was seeking the authentic, the back roads, the people and experiences between the destinations on my map or entries into the guidebook. It was not only about being open to the unplanned moments, but putting myself into uncomfortable situations where the spark of spontaneity could ignite a human connection. I always find coming home a bit eye opening, I continue to look for and seek authentic moments in my "everyday" life, getting away from the screens and technology that disconnect me with the people right in front of me. I think this is the job of great technology, enabling and at the same time not getting in the way of the authentic life moments.
