Jean-Paul started a journey, a world travel in 2003. It was for the adventure and I'd hoped some where along the way I would find some soul related answers. I followed the yellow brick road you could say, and I met many characters along it.... Some of them have even left messages on this website. You can too.
And the journey became longer than expected. You can see this in my Archives.
Yet somewhere along the way I lost that 'yellow brick road', but in essence I am still on that journey.
This website is about my travel, in all its aspects. A World travel with an Inner travel. The story of the walk.

[Class Room Time- North India]
Since my 10 day meditation retreat I have been nested in Mcleod Ganj, the home town of the Dalai Lama. (I have seen him a couple of times, but only passing in his car.) I was also here in MG almost 1 year ago.
For something different I taught English over the last 3 weeks, (volunteer) to a 1 hour morning class comprised mainly of Tibetans and monks. I realise how much teachers can give in the class room (hats off to them) and in a way it was more about building up their confidence to speak English rather than teaching it.
I experimented with different formats, not only to keep the class interested but to keep it interesting for myself as well. It was challenging in ways but I enjoyed it and the class was keen to have me back when I return from Nepal. (I also noticed how a little class preparation could go along way...) In all it was good for me to do something different and on a regular basis, rather than just chat with friends and drink coffee (although they do have great coffee here :-)
Yes another visa run. I fly to Nepal on Monday 16th June and expect to be back in Mcleod Ganj in the begging of July where I will probably continue teaching.
So for the first time in 5 years I had the concept of a weekend! So with that, a fellow volunteer teacher (Vania with the video camera) and I had made weekend trips away on the motorbike. One weekend was to Chamba, passing through 2600m of mountains roads and forest, and another weekend trip to Kasol, a most picturesque valley full of pine trees. (I was there earlier this year in April).
So after hours of video editing, a very new experience for me, let me present...
