Please take a moment to read my story so you can know Rumba through my eyes. Then consider donating to the search-and-rescue effort to bring him home. Thank you.

For those who have reached out asking how they can help the people of Nepal 🇳🇵❤️

The company organizing this relief effort is the same trekking company I personally traveled with during my Annapurna Circuit trek. It is also through this company that I met our friend and guide, Rumba.

Because I have a personal connection with them and firsthand experience with their company, I feel comfortable sharing their relief efforts and letting friends and family here in the U.S. know that this is a legitimate and trusted organization to support.

I am currently in contact with them and have asked for a donation link and information in English so that those of us here in the United States who would like to help can do so easily and confidently.

As soon as I receive those details, I will share them here.

Thank you so much to everyone who has reached out, asked about Rumba, prayed for those affected, or asked how they can help. Nepal and its people hold a very special place in my heart, and your concern and kindness mean more than you know. 🇳🇵🙏❤️

I will continue to keep everyone updated as I learn more

Prayers for Nepal. 🇳🇵

Prayers for our friend, who has still not been heard from. We remain hopeful that connectivity is the issue and that we will hear from him soon.

While we wait, we pray for him, for all those still missing, and for the wonderful Nepali people as search and rescue efforts continue.

Mendocino, California I love the coast. Not in a vague, postcard way people say it. I mean in the specific chemistry of it. The smell of sea air working on you before you've even seen the water, the way the light changes the rock's color hour to hour,

Bryan and I have been making this on repeat lately… it’s so good and needs to be shared.

Kayaking The Big River Estuary. Silence, Stillness, and Seals.

Big River Estuary. Silence, Stillness, and Seals.

Mendocino Headlands, California Some mornings ask you to be quiet before they'll show you something actually worth seeing. We launched the kayaks at first light, the kind of early that still has dew on it. The put-in was empty; no other boats, no voices, just the low hush
