After several months in each of the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia, I spent 6 weeks in Burma (Myanmar) and 3 months in Bangkok, Thailand during its tumultuous protest-filled spring.   Coming back to North America in the summer of 2010, I had a chance to explore the Dominican Republic, take a whirlwind trip through South America and catch up with friends and family in between my travels.  2011 began with a flight back to Asia, a continent I love (where the food is cheap and delicious, and the clothes fit me!), as well as travels through Laos and Jordan. The year has progressed with a continued affection forfood and spices, and a summer with friends and family in North America.   For more about Jodi, visit http://www.legalnomads.com/

Phil has also sent plenty of advice my way. I also speak to groups around the country. The perfect audiences are teachers, summer camps, fraternities and sororities, and sports teams.    Since 2006, I’ve also been running a program in schools around the country (and occasionally around the world) called the Hero Construction Company. It encourages everyday heroism in and out of the classroom through studying the hero’s journey, encouraging small, good acts, and exploring the actions of other heroes."    For more about the Hero Handbook and the Hero Construction Company, visit http://www.theherohandbook.com/ and http://www.theherocc.com/.

That’s not to say that travel fixes everything – it doesn’t. But if I was bored, or unhappy I would have gone home.
