Nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. I'm pretty sure this philosophy governs the trajectory of Kylie Gavard, my inspirational friend who took off from Canada and landed on the other side of the planet in a place few people have ever seen. In 2012 I visited him there, in a tiny fishing village in southern Cambodia where he lives in a beautiful house on stilts with his wife (an adorable baby since came on the scene). He was the same generous, patient and funny guy he had been before, but there was an unmistakable ease about him which I greatly admired.
Here is a snapshot from that visit, back in 2012, as he ferried us back to his island from the one we were on.
Happy birthday, Kylie.
