Alison and I left NYC for Greece exactly one year ago. With a one-way ticket, we had no idea what would unfold beyond our first month of WWOOFing on Paros. Three months in Greece led to a magical December in Barcelona, Paris, the South of France countryside for Christmas, and Amsterdam for New Years. With the new year, I boarded a plane in London and flew to Chennai, India. No plans upon landing. And I found myself in Sadhana Forest, a most wondrous eco-community and reforestation project full of travelers, adventurers, and otherwise free spirits (not to mention a surprising number of Vassar grads), in the Southeast state of Tamil Nadu.

As I shared in my very first landscapes are not blog post:

try not to expect anything
in this way everything will open up to you

words to live by. certainly words to adventure by.

This is the hut where I slept during my two months at Sadhana Forest.
Sadhana uses minimal electricity, all of which is solar generated.
