So it allows me to travel, I'll be doing that and running these great rivers and doing what I've done in the past without much purpose other than for the experience.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is one thing to hear about the forest and the river, but an entirely other experience to go there, to see the environment, and to appreciate the natural riches there first-hand.
To connect with the great river we all need a path, but when you get down there there's only one river.
For any good course, you need somewhere beautiful to swim with a nice backdrop, some nice roads to cycle on, and a nice, fast run.
Connecting with people, getting things done - that's what makes the travel worthwhile.
To get where you want to go you can't only do what you like.
Sailing is a big outlet for me.
You can't do everything, at the same time, always, and forever. But if you look at your life and your career as a long, winding river, you can get to your destination.
What makes a river so restful to people is that it doesn't have any doubt - it is sure to get where it is going, and it doesn't want to go anywhere else.
I want to go base-jumping off Angel Falls and then canoeing down that river that goes east. That's what I really wanna do.
My idea of a vacation is staying home and doing short day hikes, floating the river and things like that.
