Inside this deck, find 52 SHOPPING FOR NIRVANA IN MACHU PICCHU & GALAPAGOS spirited adventures. Nirvana is about the objects you collect, the people you meet, and the experiences you have. This is my first trip to South America, and I have no idea what to expect.
Famous Machu Picchu and the Galapagos Islands are on my dad's bucket list, and at age 83, it is time to check them off. My brother, his Aussie wife, and their three teenage sons join us. Well, actually, I joined them. My mother opted out, and in fact, the "fashion show" of Peruvian sweaters on the train from Machu Picchu would have been her only favorite part. In hindsight, my dad should not have been tasked with arranging the trip. He does not realize how difficult it will be to get to those two destinations. Even though our trusty travel agent warns him to add more downtime and extra days to enjoy the moments in between, he wants to get there and get home.
So begins a family trip with nine plane rides in 10 days. These are our adventures. Let the journey begin!
"We start in the Galapagos Islands to meet lumbering tortoises, splashing sea lions,
sun-basking iguanas, and flirty birds called Boobies. Then, off to Machu Picchu
to sip lethal coca tea, discover the secret lives of Inca Warriors, and take selfies
with furry llamas. Don't forget your adventure gear. Best family trip ever!"

The idea for my travel card deck came to me in 2000 on my first trip to Hong Kong. At the posh store Shanghai Tang, the only items I could afford at the time were the green tea room spray and a colorful deck of cards depicting sights in the city. It was so clever and much more accessible than carrying a heavy book. It was then and there I dreamed of designing my deck of travel cards with my photographs and travel insights. Many years later, Shopping for Nirvana was born, so I invite you to share my passion for culture and spirituality, meeting new people, and having new experiences with my card decks.
