Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 623
Book Description
They sold their house and everything in it to move into a truck camper. And they were not small people. Laura began her memoir in the summer of 1995, when she walked into a summer party and met the love of her life, Sasha. Their whirlwind courtship started them on an adventurous journey. Along the way, Laura created six careers and used frugalness and thrift to find financial freedom while battling anxiety. They looked at what they wanted before marriage and chose a path. That meant pooling their finances, paying off debt, and ultimately deciding to work half the year while traveling in a recreational vehicle (RV). There were a few distress signals along the way. The self-doubt and anxiety of job jumping as an environmental geologist, computer trainer, and small business owner gave Laura insomnia. Yet those experiences allowed her to follow her dream job: to work as a Park Ranger for the National Park Service. When she retired from the rat race of full-time work, she was 38. They lived in the truck camper of 24 square feet before the season of the bugs forced a change of RV. With a new-to-them fifth-wheel toyhauler, they found a togetherness few married couples find. There were still bumps in the road, no matter who was driving. So, Laura created a website and blogged about their travels, finances, and full-time living in an RV: Laura & Sasha's Excellent Adventure. It was her way of being creative in a small space. It allowed friends and family to see the beauty of national parks and remote nature areas few saw. This memoir presents their adventures to their twentieth wedding anniversary. Come along for the ride and learn how to do this lifestyle too.

Adventures Of A Travelling Monk
Author: Indradyumna Swami
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 9356997179
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
'With my time in the Marines behind me, I gradually found myself on a personal quest for answers, a spiritual journey. I had left behind the disciplined life of a soldier and was wandering in search of meaning.' Deeply affected by the death of his entire platoon in the Vietnam War, Lance Corporal Brian Tibbitts embarked upon the pursuit of the real meaning and purpose of life. To his dismay, none of the major spiritual and religious texts he read could fully answer his questions, until he found Bhagavad-gita As It Is and met its author, Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami, the founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON). At the age of twenty-one, Brian Tibbitts became his disciple, and at the age of twenty-nine, became Indradyumna Swami when he entered the renounced order of life. Instructed by his spiritual master to 'preach boldly and have faith in the holy names of God', he left the USA initially for Paris. What followed over the next five decades was a rollercoaster journey across the globe. From surviving attacks in post-war Sarajevo to being mistaken for a terror suspect in North America to losing his clothes and his way amid the 125 million pilgrims at the Kumbh Mela, his life has been one adventure after another. Inspirational and engrossing, Adventures of a Travelling Monk is a riveting account of the fifty years of Indradyumna Swami's active service in the Hare Krishna movement.
