Today we talk with Andy Lammers. He is a writer, a middle school teacher, an athlete, a traveler, and a basketball coach.
Andy lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan with his family. He writes essays on diverse topics, inspired by the things around him.
We interview Andy and read his contemplative piece: Is This Why We Travel? Volcano’s and Viking Winds - ramblings and wondering in Iceland.
The piece was published in Scribe, and Andy extends a special thanks to Thomas Gaudex, the editor and publisher of the Medium publication.

“…I'm caught in a mysterious gravitational pull. Some geologic force, bigger than I can comprehend, has me in its grips. I could have stayed in bed no more than a rock on a cliff above the sea, loosed by years of weathering, can stay its plunge…”
“…I think we travel because we have to. I just think, you know, as humans, we've been farming and settled for what, 12,000 years or so. But as humans, as people, we've been roaming for 10 times that long. I really honestly believe that it's in us.…”
