LESSON #56: Know how to measure your own happiness
Really think about that for a second. I’ll wait.

Some are living in Paris, and Claremont-Ferand, France, others are traveling in Latin America, some are teaching english in Vientnam and Korea - and for the most...

Higher education does not equal happiness →
This is what I’ve been talking about! I’m all for education, but as Your Vagabond, I can tell you unequivocally that there are myriad ways to get an education. So put the book down for a second, put your laptop to sleep and LIVE!

LESSON #53: Sing!
Edmond, Oklahoma, USA
…like in this video of 6th grader Greyson Michael Chance. Whether you like the Gaga or not, this kid is fucking phenomenal! (If this kid doesn’t give you chills at the 2:53 mark, you’re dead.)
If you follow this blog you know I have a tender thing going with music. Plenty of times have I been on a road trip, flight, or walk in a far away place where...

LESSON #52: Attend a protest
Athens, Greece
There’s something to be said for raising your voice - or bark - for a cause, cuz sometimes “the man” needs a beat-down. I can tell you from experience that the adrenaline is friggen exhilarating! And if youre smart, you’ll get a Facebook Fan Page like Kanellos, the Greek protest dog.

LESSON #48: Peace is within... explore it.
Long Beach, California, USA
Stick with this video start to finish. You wont regret it. Such an inspiration.
Quoted from TED.com:
“Jill Bolte Taylor got a research opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: She had a massive stroke, and watched as her brain functions — motion, speech, self-awareness — shut down one by one. An astonishing story.”
Thank you...

LESSON #46: Do what you can with what you have
Like these guys…
Weligama, South Coast, Sri Lanka
Sure, I cant speak for them, but fuck if that doesnt look like fun! The homie off his stilts looks like he’s freezing his ass off, but he’s engaging with the world around him and like your dear Vagabond over here in California, they’re makin’ shit happen.
Yes, there is something to be said for structure, wealth...
