Big Travels

Unpack. Launder. Pack Again.

​A quick note this week. My turnaround between trips is tight this time around. 

I’m amazed by what I learn each and every time I talk to producers about coffee. In Houston. I learned about the first-ever shipment of coffee that was wind powered! The above photo is a picture of the vessel that delivered coffee from Colombia to Canada.

Hello, my friends!

I’m super excited about my trip to Sierra Leone. 🙌🏽 And, I’m a bit daunted by what it takes to get there. I’m downloading books and podcasts, making sure all my devices are fully charged, and trying to figure out the puzzle pieces of both my carry-on and my backpack. 

I really love getting out there in the world because it’s always expansive. I meet new people. Hear languages I’ve never experienced. Taste foods I’ve never encountered. And, I have the chance to learn from customs and cultures that are different than mine. Honestly? It’s incredible. 

In spite of all the uniqueness that’s evident when visiting someplace new? Turns out, we humans have FAR more in common than anything that differentiates us. 

No matter where you are, I hope you are well. And that you take some time for yourself each and every day.  

I hope we see one another on the mat soon. 

With love and gratitude,
