“I find that the act of traveling can be a rewarding part of my process… the downtime of going places, of anticipating the adventure, of contemplating the experience, and unwinding. I traveled by car, bus, boat, train, water taxi, ferry, and subway. In addition, I wore out a good pair of shoes. I love the luxury of being able to simply go places. This grant allows for that, it carves out the time, and provides a budget for what can be an adventure of a lifetime.”
