Blogs in this Series. Sunday, March 29, 2015. Tip of the Hat.

Blogs in this Series. Monday, October 18, 2010. The Green School, Bali, Indonesia. Today I visited the The Green School. Our tour guide, Ben, has been a part of the Green School team since 2008.

He greets and welcomes all members of the tour in their native language, from English to Mandarin to Japanese to French to Malay to Indonesian. Moving on along a lava rock pathway (one of ma...

Blogs in this Series. Friday, September 26, 2014. How I Became a Global Citizen. First, a shout out to Teresa Tung, whose recent return to blogging ( a post with the same title. Inspired me to revisit my own relic of a blog suite, a space and an activity that I have all but abandoned over the past 2 years.

Blogs in this Series. Thursday, August 18, 2011. Why I LOVE My Vibram 5 Fingers! This summer I got a pair of Vibrams 5 Fingers sports shoes for my birthday. I'd had my eyes on these for a little over a year, at first attracted to their potential as great water sports shoes and later for their benefits for trail hiking and running. So what is it that I especially love. About my Vibram Komodo Sports? When I put them on, I feel totally energized. There is never a rub, pinch or a squeeze. Since buying my 5 F...
