Sequoia is on her first leisurely round-the-world adventure, starting in Asia. It has been a lifelong dream for her to travel, and now that she has finished her Master’s in Counseling Psychology (Trauma Recovery emphasis) and made many other radical life changes, she is free to fulfill it!
The first stop was the Wudang Mountains in China, to start training in kung fu. Now, she is in Japan and looking for a job either teaching English or Psychology at High School or College level, while searching for a new place to call home. She is on a quest to find the perfect beach (big waves) near the perfect city with perfect weather (not humid!) and her kind of people- some miraculous combination of Mission Beach in San Diego, San Francisco, Berkeley, Cambridge, Boston and Santa Cruz. Perhaps this is in Japan, but even if it isn’t, she is looking forward to spending a couple years learning Japanese and getting to know the culture. Then she will continue her quest for the perfect home and other adventures, most likely checking out music schools in Western and Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, Australia or New Zealand! Eventually, she will find a place and a people (and a beach) that she can call her own, and then she will start the adventure of a settled life… but not for a while!

My focus is to live this journey with this question in mind: What if I really am exactly the kind of person I’ve always admired, and who I thought I would be when I was young? I don’t even know if I could describe her in words, but I know her exactly. More and more as I keep moving in the direction of my dreams, I see her with me, and have moments of clarity where I know that all I have to do is keep shedding away what was done to me and keep loving who I truly am, and we will merge. When I really let in that I am a good person, my inhibitions melt away, and people are drawn to my zany and joyous integrity. This is why I chose the surname ‘Wild‘. The more I take myself seriously, the more I belong in my life, the more I create the life I belong in…
