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.

[Dharamsala (Mcleod Ganj) - North India]
For a week now I'm home in the Himalayas, at a modest 1800m. After a long 2 day journey from south India I have arrived at the village of the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government in exile.
Its a breath of fresh air, especially compared with smelly Deli, and its way cooler than the south. (which was upto 42 degrees when I left)
My room has a splendid view of the snow capped mountains and eagles ride the air currents in front of my balcony. The valleys are green and wooded and there are nature trails to walk. So I love sitting on my balcony catching the morning sun while drinking a cup of self made hot chocolate and taking up the scene before me. I call it my moving picture and I never seem to get bored of it.
The village is dotted with monasteries and head shaven monks in dark red robes walk the streets. Apparently the days of being a monk and owning a mere bowl and cup has changed- I spotted many of the monks with the coolest mobile phone.
It is a bit of a melting pot here and there are more Tibetan, far eastern and western styled restaurants than Indian. In fact it doesn't feel like I am in India at all, which is very refreshing in itself! The atmosphere here is relaxed, and hassle free, a bit like the climate. ;-) Like many people who arrive here I quickly felt at home and I can imagine I will stay for a longer period.
Happy Happy Happy!
