"This is gold. You will laugh, smile, cry, and take a dozen trips down memory lane(s)." -Michelle Zimmerman, Co-Founder, Pidola

As a group of climbing friends puts it, when attempting a rock climb under the threat of inclement weather, you must "feel the rock" to determine whether to proceed. If the rock is dry, you climb!

Feel the Rock is a story of living in the second poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, being immersed in the culture, climbing the high peaks of the Andes, and surviving deep loneliness and frustration on the path to personal and spiritual growth. It is a tale of being utterly uncomfortable physically, mentally, spiritually, psychologically, and financially. It is a revelation of what can happen when one is pushed to the breaking point. And it is an inspiration to take the risk of touching your inner heart/soul/consciousness-your rock-to live a fuller life.

After all, can you make big, important life decisions without knowing who you truly are? Without feeling the rock first?


In The Press

"This is gold. You will laugh, smile, cry, and take a dozen trips down memory lane(s).

"For anyone who has ever traveled in developing regions, for anyone who has traveled solo, and certainly for those who have traveled in Bolivia, this is a must read. Lou captures the sights, culture, experiences, smells, sounds, and true feel of being in a foreign land so adeptly that he evokes notions and memories that were otherwise buried or thought to be long gone. So often people romanticize travel and tell only the positive stories, sharing only the beautiful photos from tops of mountains and smiling groups of children enthralled by a funny looking foreigner, but rarely do we get pulled back into the real "feels" of solo travel; the hardships, the loneliness, the second-guessing, the fear and anxiety of being truly alone and lost even when surrounded by millions of people...and the stuff in our lives responsible for pulling us out of those low places, family, friends, and faith." -Michelle Zimmerman, Co-Founder, Pidola
