A year ago today I was riding a horse in the Caribbean living my dream,  now I'm in Saudi Arabia living my backup plan-Cha Ching I have lived and worked in Jeddah (2002-03) and Riyadh (2008-09); and now find The Eastern Province the most agreeable.

Travel can alter perceptions and may even rewire your brain. Novelty and unique one-of-a-kind experiences raise dopamine levels, the chemical in your head that gives you optimism, curiosity and creativity. This gift of pure attention is harder to achieve when your brain is ON French Fries--the default American mode, when your "chi" or energy is Velcro for negative experiences, but Teflon for positive ones. State It Then Create It  Before you can take your path you must live it in thought. My thought makes me travel and create archives of experience and expectation where I incinerate negativity and have a mindfulness of pure attention, without advice, without judgments-When I'm traveling, I am what I am right there and like some Starfleet Commander- I endorse Captain Kirk's recommended policy of non-interference with the internal development of alien civilizations. I must say, some of these places I visit, at least on the surface, look a bit like Mars....
