I’m still referring people to this article. Even had to send it to dad. Thanks BIG time for this Cody. Means a lot to have you out there helping me promote and fundraise all the time. It’s also awesome to see how many people are getting excited about what we’re doing. Thanks everyone for your encouraging comments!

Great article Cody. We’ve been “stalking” both of you on Twitter and FB. Learned a lot about each of you and your passions. I really do ADMIRE Dwight’s passion to give his time and effort to the Burmese refugees and children and your commitment to help him. Again, we’re thankful to connect with both of you, look forward to meeting you and helping the Burmese together.

hugs,
aye

I agree with everyone else’s sentiments, and what you said on our call this week – adventuring and lifestyle design are ultimately much richer and more enjoyable when you’re making a positive contribution in the world. You and Dwight are doing a great job! I especially resonated with this quote: “maybe we are Over Entertained and Under Challenged”

Hey Cody – i have kept this post unread in my feeder forever now! I wanted to actually read it, not skim like my usually reading habits b/c this is what I live for. I think Dwight is awesome – I’ve read the InSearchofSanik site a few times and absolutely fell in love with it. The work that you guys are doing in a country that technically isn’t even yours if phenomenal. Most people go on the 2 week mission trips, but you guys have found a way to get young people excited about change and there is no better thing in my opinion.

This change can be anything, from volunteering and changing the world to just opening up and changing their own life. Truly awesome and I can’t wait till I get my ass over there and co-throw a Rock Star Tweetup with you guys!

Thanks again dude.

Thanks for the comments everyone!

@Colin, Glad to hear your feedback and glad people appreciate Dwight’s awesome contribution! We’d love to see you in Bangkok sometime, so let me know if you’re headed out this way…

@Rasheed, Very good point! Stay tuned because Dwight and I will do more reporting on our experiences working with charity groups around the region as we travel!

@Karen, Thanks for the feedback, and glad you were able to connect with Dwight. I’m excited to be able to work on these cool projects with him.

Awesome Cody!

I applaud your generosity. Real lifestyle design should be about how much we give, not how little we work. You and Dwight are great examples to follow.

I just connected, and began talking with Dwight on Twitter… and began reading his blog tonight! What a remarkable person! If only everyone tried so hard to do good… the world would be better. It’s funny, I was just wondering the meaning behind his Twitter name/ Blog title, and then here is a post explaining it! That’s so cool you guys live in the same city, and are working for a bigger cause… Cheers to you both!

Wow! This is a great write up, Cody.

You are absolutely right, you can have while volunteering and helping make the world a better place. How can you not be happy, when you’re making others happy. That’s why I love what I am doing and I am not slave to the 9 to 5 routine anymore.

Thanks for sharing.

Sound like Dwight has found a niche that can really use an uplifting presence and is filling that void. Congrats to both of you on your successes thus far in the area, and I’m sure that the results will just keep getting better and better (on the ’sanuk’ front and the ‘helping other people’ front).

Definitely need to make my way to Thailand in the near-future!
