In this collection, MJ Pramik shares stories of adventure and personal evolution against the backdrop of the current climate crisis. These essays and poems reflect upon two decades of journeys around the globe, offering wisdom for developing a conscious mind for sustainable travel as our planet's catastrophic transformations come to the fore. Today, MJ begins each new expedition prepared for interruption by some radical encounter - whether it be war, extreme weather, drought, a pandemic...or simply major flight cancellations. She meets each of these challenges with a grateful excitement and renewed dedication to further care for this planet.Readers of this anthology are encouraged to become ethical travelers themselves, turning their focus towards honoring the far corners of the earth even as storm clouds hover above us.
