I think sharing everything and reciprocity are part of the culture of Wisconsin. If I practice sincerity, I will not feel lonely, even while travelling alone.

We stayed with Tibetan host families for several nights. They showed us their ordinary, simple lifestyle. I was particularly moved by how they cared for each of us unconditionally from deep in their hearts.
I learnt how to work with young children and I gained a lot of knowledge about early childhood education.

Dharamsala is a place full of love and peace. The most direct and simple greetings are the most powerful things that make people feel warm, and being accompanied by children is the best way to make them happy.
