On Journey with Danny G.

Did you ever have a dream that so far outweighed what you thought was possible that you sometimes tried not to dream it because it was just too painful?  I had a dream like that, and it was to go to Nepal and trek through some of the most striking, stark, at times desolate, and timeless, high altitude terrain that the world has ever known. In this episode, join me on a journey that begins by crossing over the Indian border with a cast of characters atop the roof of a bus, then exploring the other-worldly city of Kathmandu, and ending up at 17,700 feet — on top of the world—across the Annapurna Circuit of The Himalayan Mountains.

It was 1999 and I entered a country where few budget travelers were found.  With little to no infrastructure for tourism, this adventure was largely created through curiosity, seizing opportunity and creative improvisation. In this episode, come along for the journey riding on a slow boat down the Mekhong River, experience sunsets and sunrises that are unparalleled, reflections on friends from home, and the development of new bonds and relationships in this country of 10,000 greens!

The contrast of the bustling, over-crowded, dynamic, tourist-thronged city of Bangkok against the backdrop of the Thai Smile and iconic beaches make this adventure one for the books!  One night turned into a 3-4 month journey that took me from the depths of city life, teaching English to locals, to the hills of a tribal Lahu Village in the north and of course, across the beautiful, wind-swept islands on all sides of this beautiful nation.  In this episode, I explore the beginnings of discovery in my learning alternative modes of healing and wellness --I threw myself into the mix, dreaming of a future that might contain some of what I was learning.

I have $400 for 4 months' worth of travel.  "Is that a wooden sign that says D.J.?", I ask as I disembark the overnight ferry to Santorini?  That job was arguably better than washing cars and sanding houses in the mountains but in retrospect—it's all part of the adventure!  Beautiful Greece with its incredible beaches, dynamic night- life, and ancient culture never disappoints and it certainly didn’t on this epic, shoestring journey.

I’m on the beginning of a 15 month journey across the globe and it more or less starts right here, in Edinburgh.  From musical pubs, to hitching across Lochs, biking through wildflower fields and landing in a cosmic, universalist, naturalist compound —the journey from Edinburgh to Glasgow to Elgin was filled with mirth, adventure, and of course, a litany of international characters.  This hearty land with its resolute and stalwart people make for a memorable journey!
