Glad to hear you had a blast, and glad to hear you're coming to NYC. The weather's been pretty good for this time of year.

Thanks for following me back – I'm hoping to build up my readership this year in a big way. You're really showing me a lot about authenticity and putting yourself out there. It's great to learn from fellow coaches in my generation. I'm really hoping we change the face of personal development!

Thanks so much Brett! I just got back from Austin, Texas for the SXSW
conference – it was AWESOME (the city and the conference) and it reminded me
how great it is to see new places and meet new people. I loved your story
about your spontaneous walk in NYC – so much fun! I love the feeling of
being an explorer – eyes wide open just appreciating and soaking up a
surrounding city. I'm actually going to NYC next week – feel lucky to be
doing so much traveling recently.

Just started following you on Twitter (sorry about the follow-back delay!) -
I look forward to keeping in touch! Very cool that you also do coaching, and
big congrats on launching into the blog world too

So glad to hear you unplugged – SO hard to do, I know. I think just unplugging every once in awhile is a vacation in and of itself! How was SXSW? Hoping to get there next year…

I took a trip into New York City and as fate would have it, accidentally hopped on one of the express subway lines instead of the local, got off somewhere downtown that I've never been before during daylight hours and just enjoyed a walk back uptown to my fiancee's office. It really started my weekend right! Hoping to do it again sometime soon. Stay well, Jenny.

Bob – thanks so much for stopping by. I love the idea of traveling to gain
perspective on our lives. It's so true that it really does elevate us to a
state of being able to see the forest (not just the trees). Great analogy -
and one that definitely holds true for me. I so appreciate the times I can
get away from home and reflect on the big picture of my life. I almost
always return home with new ideas, dreams or desires. And that's what keeps
life exciting.

Josh – Yes! Time to pack your bags indeed – it's simply good for the soul.
And if you ever come to Northern California, let me know!

Stanley - thanks so much for stopping by! Very cool that you are
experimenting with the nomadic lifestyle. Have you seen sites like
LocationIndpendent.com, ExileLifestyle.com and Untemplater.com? They are
promoting the alternative lifestyle you described, and it seems like an
absolutely incredible way to live. I look forward to checking out your blog
too - congrats on approaching graduation and setting yourself up for some
great travel experiences afterward!
