| 6th July 2007 White Cloud | hey J - From: From China to Tibet and back yeah you definitely should think about it. I didn't realize how vast chinese medicine is and how many things it can help aid or cure. Something I'm planning on looking seriously into when I get back to the states. |
| 6th July 2007 White Cloud | things never change - From: From China to Tibet and back nice I like your style. somehow it always seems to work out!:) how are the floors in Boston? |
| 5th July 2007 Joni | Hey Girl - From: From China to Tibet and back Wow... I have to admit, you are having some awesome adventures, and I would love to come hang with you! Since your blogs, I have been thinking of doing an internship in China. Before you tho, I thought nothing of it. Can't wait to talk! Love, J |

| 5th July 2007 shane | - From: my families in Laos well that cruiser you were riding looked nice but not quite as sweet at the one you had on the year book page happy 4th |
| 4th July 2007 White Cloud | hello hello - From: my families in Laos Mateo- nice hearing from ya. the meat experience was definitely worth it, but I did feel that eating meat still is just unnecessary for me. Steifel-wow, what a great surprise! Happy 4th to you too. I'll drop you an e-mail buddy. |
| 3rd July 2007 Stiefel | Good Day - From: my families in Laos Wanted to say hello, sounds like your adventures are amazing. happy fourth of July from America. shoot me an email, i can't seem to find your email address anymore. Miss ya, Take care Stiefel |
| 26th June 2007 Mat | G'day G'day - From: my families in Laos Its funny that your map of Laos kinda has a similar shape to Joni's map of Italy. Glad to hear that you're doin the thang in China, cruising toward TLG. It's gonna be an epic hike. Anyhow, I had a similar experience the other day regarding eating meat, though not nearly as exceptional. I tried a small piece of kangaroo meat. Had to do it while I'm here. Wasn't all that great, though I agree with your philosophies. Miss you. |
| 20th June 2007 JRenee | Sweet - From: my families in Laos It's always nice to find your family. Or in Italy, here your famiglia... anyways, you inspired me to finally stop procrastinating and post on my own blog. Hey... Nice... you have TWO pages for people to see the greatness of where you are. *note to readers* TWO pages of pictures. |
| 18th June 2007 White Cloud | videos and pictures galore! - From: the Leech Experience alright I finally got on a computer that works with the video upload, so check out the videos at the top near the title to see what it was like zip-lining. |

| 2nd June 2007 Joni Renee Zalk | No Coincidences! - From: Quick Update before Laos Kendra, This was by far the best blog so far! Definitely, the universe is always on your side. All you have to do is be clear about what you want, and Ask, Believe, and Receive! As you have been powerfully demonstrating. Even with no pictures to see your beautiful face, I can tell you are very happy. Love, (Your future sister-in-law) Joni :-) |
| 24th May 2007 zackattack | hey kendra - From: Stop and Smell the Roses kendra, i'm right there with you... i miss you, girl. the meditation sounded intense, glad you're having fun in the land of wats. |
| 16th May 2007 Allison | Hi friend - From: Stop and Smell the Roses Your new "family" is pretty freaking cute! Glad to hear that you're still having fun, meeting new people and trying new things! I'm so proud of Steffi and you for traveling alone all over God's creation and managing to find your way. |
| 12th May 2007 anonymous | uhm.... - From: Stop and Smell the Roses i don't know what i you to bring home more? that little boy or the mango cheesecake recipe. |
| 12th May 2007 JRenee | only white girl - From: Stop and Smell the Roses You must be a hot commodity there, being not only a white girl, but also blonde and unattached (unmarried). Pictures look awesome! Keep up the fun. :-) |
| 12th May 2007 JRenee | Mathew - From: 'Pirates of the New Age' My poor little brother! As long as it was just a temporary illness... I'm glad you didn't get it, K. |
| 12th May 2007 JRenee | Food Poisoning. - From: 'Pirates of the New Age' Wow. Poor guys. I learned this in my Traditional Chinese Medicine School... Anytime you have an "overactive stomach" then one thing that works is to ground up a shell (taken from any ocean) and put water in it and drink it. If you can't mash it up finely, then ground it up, soak it in hot water, and strain the shells out, and drink the tea. It "settles" the stomach. Note for next time! Joni |
| 29th April 2007 Mat Zalk | Ugly Beast!?! - From: Surviving Palau...not hard to do Ooh you take that back, Joni. Not only is the hump head amazing for being so huge, I happen to think that it looks beautiful and unique. In addition, it's hermaphroditic, meaning this dominant male has a large harem, one of whom, upon his death, will grow larger, change colors and become the new dominant male. Pretty cool. So, have you taken it back yet? |
| 16th April 2007 Andrew | Mat's long lost South African brother here... - From: taking the good with the bad Hey Kendra, you might not remember me, but I spoke to you on Skype way back in December last year when Mat and I were in Tonsai. Are you stil a shemale? Very hot:) Got to your blog via Mat's. Mat hit me as a very strong-minded bloke, and the photo above called "a long way down" just complements my opinion of him. Cleary he has no worries about taking a leak wherever nature calls. Shame - give the man some privacy! Jokes! Hope you guys are well. Send my regards to the Matman. |
| 14th April 2007 JRenee | Mat's sunglasses - From: The 3 Muskateers Damn... that is so funny about Mat's sunglasses. I can't stop laughing! Tell the cheap bastard to buy some new ones. Maybe it runs in the family, cuz when my sunglasses broke in Thailand, I went and bought super glue... Joni |
| 8th April 2007 JRenee | holy Shite, girlfriend! - From: Surviving Palau...not hard to do Awesome underwater pictures! That humphead sure is an ugly beast. Still I would love to be in the water with you guys. That looks like fun! Love ya both. Joni |
| 5th April 2007 avriljb | Sweet dive pics - From: Surviving Palau...not hard to do Just doing some research on my next trip and came across your blog. It gets me sooo excited to dive again. My sister and I got out open water in Australia and our advanced in Thailand. Ive been home for about 7 months and Im reasearching some really awesome dive sites to go to. I am in LOVE with Manta Rays and Whale Sharks. Hope you are having an amazing time!! If you have any tips Id love to hear them! |
| 26th March 2007 anonymous | - From: The 3 Muskateers I AM JEALOUS!!!!! |
| 2nd February 2007 Son Jabi | Missing you - From: taking the good with the bad hi! i've been missing you so bad lately. But you look happy and in love ;) i have been going to yoga and pilates because it makes me think of you~ and I have also been putting Clear Eyes into by third eye. (It is late in the night here, so I am forced to make dumb jokes). Yesterday at GVAC these girls were throwing that weight ball thing on the incline bench and I just kept staring at them (haha.) because that was what we used to do and I MISS YOU!! Did I say that already? Well, I am so proud of you and "white cloud" is right. You have been so lucky (minus the forged checks), but I mean hey, at college we trained in the art of getting our bank balance into the red. I was bummed I missed your call, but I am thinking of you always and tell matt to take care of my girl for me! |
| 29th January 2007 JRenee | Snake Trees - From: Aquatica Those are so cool! Are they vegetarians? Do they bite unsuspecting Californians? Looks like you guys are enjoying a lot of culture. Kendra - if you are broke, maybe you can sell one of Mathew's kidneys? that oughta rake in a little needed dough. (just a thought) |
| 16th January 2007 JRenee | Ahhhhh - From: taking the good with the bad You guys look like you are having so much fun! Rock on! xoxoxoxoxoxo Big Sista Joni |
| 4th January 2007 James | Hi 'dra!!! - From: Happy New Year Hey Kendra, we were all just talking about you this past weekend, thought I would check your blog and get updated. It sounds like your travels have been enlightening and fulfilling. Glad you're doing so well! The kids all say hi. Chloe is starting to take steps, C, H, and L are doing great, as is Jill. We all miss you and look forward to seeing you when you're back in Cali. Be careful. |
| 30th December 2006 White Cloud | You're the Man Pete - From: a way to raise money for a good cause Pete Vernasco, I just want to give you a big Thank You for starting this ball rolling. You are awesome and together hopefully we can make someone or some organization a little happier during this upcoming year. Happy New Year and stay in touch! |
| 15th December 2006 White Cloud | Irwin leave a little substance eh? - From: The Low Down so the link below from 'Chris' is a funny article that you all should check out pertaining to India... Chris, buddy, come on. That's the first time you wrote anything and you couldn't even explain to people what this link is about or leave a hello. I won't give you too much of a bad time considering you are atleast saying something, so thanks for the post. Miss ya buddy and say hello to the Queen for me :) |
| 13th December 2006 Chris | - From: The Low Down http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/6161691.stm |
| 11th December 2006 Jonathan | The River Runs Through It - From: The Low Down I am of course talking about Rishikesh Kendra and the meandering course the Ganga takes through this town. It is a wonderful place isn't it and like you it has been central to my thoughts when in the North of India and an important focus of my travels in this incredible country. But remember:- When anyone asks you what India is like tell them it is terrible, really bad and that no one should ever visit this place. That we we can keep it for ourselves.:<) Great Blog Jonathan |
| 7th December 2006 shane | - From: The Low Down it all sounds incredible, everytime i read you journals i think to myself thats as good as it could get, then you write down the next one and it blows me away again....keep living your journey kendra maro dede ho......if been brushing up on my nepalese...that mean you are my big sister ha sharwan and lhakpa say hi |

| 26th November 2006 Mat | Impressive Photos - From: Gobble Gobble Wow, Zack's hair is getting so long!! If I'm correct in my calculations, his hair has grown nearly an inch in five months, an amazing feat of nature. Having travelled with Zack for a while, I can really understand the intricacies of your experiences. What fun! |
| 25th November 2006 caitlin | om shanti - From: Gobble Gobble so beautiful!! sounds like an incredible thanksgiving. ill write a long email soon. love you. Cait |
| 20th November 2006 Jessbo | Lovin it!! - From: Soulshine Hey Kendra!! I'm loving your descriptions and thoughts. Most travel blogs I get from buddies consist of " I went here, drank some beer. Went there, took a photo, drank some more beer.. bla bla.. Very insightfull you are young lady, I tell ya. The great thing is, you now have a journal that you can keep for ever. |
| 3rd November 2006 caitlin | good vibrations - From: Soulshine hi love! you sound so vibrant, alive and thoughtful! don't have much spare time these days- lots of school, commuting to work and exhausted. i wish i were there with you; growing, learning and truly celebrating life. i suppose i am doing these things in my own way because the lessons i learned last year when i was in that same magical place have carried over into the hectic, conformed life i now live. i guess i'm just in transition- i have to put in some hours of hard work to make a life for myself that is simple and joyful. good luck in your meditation and im so happy for you! all my love, cait |
| 1st November 2006 Sonia | My Cup Runneth Over - From: Soulshine Kendra, Reading this entry makes me so proud to be your friend. I miss having our deep conversations because this last one would have been good. There are not even words to describe how much your words touched me and if I had read this in a book I would have highlighted everything and saved it for you to read! I think you are in a really beautiful place in the world right now, but more importantly, are in a beautiful place in your life. Thank you for sharing and I consider myself blessed to have a friend like you. |
| 31st October 2006 Rajiv | text sequence - From: Soulshine hi White Cloud, i am Rajiv from India living in Lucknow city. by chance i clicked this web page. in your very well written journal, there is some missing. i just can't understand how you jumped from Ladakh area to Swamiji's place and start medetation ??? can you tell me, this Swamiji belongs to witch city? and where are you now? how was Diwali festival? my email is: rajiv_tw@yahoo.com Rajiv |
| 25th October 2006 White Cloud | Hey Barretts! - From: Over the hills and through the woods... James its wonderful to hear from you all! I have had some funny thoughts and conversations in India and one in particular reminded me so much of a conversation I had with Caymus one morning...it revolved around the hierarchy of the animal kingdom and who would win say if a lion and a bear fought. Mine revolved more around a bamboon and myself, but I won't go into too much detail. Just so you know the kids are always on my thoughts and have taught me so much its not even funny. I miss them dearly, oh and also you and Jill too :) just teasing. Keep in touch and send pictures whenever you can. |
| 22nd October 2006 the Barretts | just read your blog - From: Over the hills and through the woods... hey 'dra, these are great posts...sounds like you are having the experience of a lifetime. As a poorly travelled typically insular American, I am really envious!!! We miss you a lot and are glad you're safe. Enjoy your travels. |
| 17th October 2006 White Cloud | oh don't you worry - From: Over the hills and through the woods... that thought crossed my mind several times throughout the week...I was waiting to see who would be the first to point that out. nice work |
| 17th October 2006 Mat Zalk | Tobias or Stiefel? - From: Over the hills and through the woods... Tobias does look eerily similar to Brian, no? |
| 16th October 2006 White Cloud | Tobias Ebel's Wanderbuch - From: Over the hills and through the woods... After learning about this German tradition that the tradesmen go through and reading Tobias' "Wanderbuch", which means traveling book and includes the mission statement, I was compelled to write it in my journal. I want to share it with you all because its a great tradition that forces people to get out of their bubble and see the world and all it has to offer. And I felt that it described much of my purposes (or most travelers for that matter) for traveling. "The possessor of this travel-passport is a companion being on her (or his in Tobias' case but they speak of women) traditional trades-journey over the term of 2 to 3 years and 1 day. She did not take to the road in order to obtain economic advantages at other places but to get acquainted with the practices of work and way of living of other people in other countries and thus improve her knowledge about her trade and extend her experience of life. (It goes on to speak to the person they meet along they way asking them to treat them with hospitality and openmindedness and to help practice the idea of agreement between nations) Once again the experiences I've gained so far and hope to continue to gain are invaluable to my life. While although I am putting off possible graduate school in which you are supposed to learn the ways of your subject and master your degree or starting working in the 'real world', I feel that what I am doing is more useful to life than any graduate school or job. Also, I am learning more ways to apply myself and deal with foreign situations more so than any mock situation created for 'real life' purposes. The reality that I am experiencing is more than any reality that I might face when I go back to the US and am supposedly living in the "real world". that thought makes me laugh.. 'the real world' |
| 16th October 2006 White Cloud | I'm so hungry - From: The Paradox of Our Age In&Out..Son you know better than to drop those words this early into my trip! I can't be thinking about that already. :) Luckily I'm in seventh heaven here at Angad's house eating all that I can before I leave on my next adventure. The homemade Indian food is definitely something to write home about. Hot roti and naan being cooked right in front of you. Endless dishes of Dal, paneer, you name it they've got it. It's so good when it touches your lips! Anyway, enough about food, although it does always seem to be on my thoughts, how are you doing? Its so good to hear from you. Don't worry time will soon start to fly and before you know it I'll be knocking on your door waiting to celebrate your acceptance to medical school. How's SB? I miss you too and wish that you could meet me somewhere over here cause I know that you would feel the same way I've felt lately...my cup runith over. Love you |
