Exploring new cultures and places does not come naturally to me. I’m more of an explorer of ideas — going deep (not wide) into ideas that are truth-based. You could say I’m an “intellectual explorer.” I could read the same book 10 times and get deeper understanding of...

The turquoise water glistened in the sun. The vastness of the ocean called to mind "endless possibilities." Climbing down the rocks, I braced myself for a new experience. I got in the water, chest-deep, and walked towards the jet ski. Dan climbed on first, then I...
