2. Danica and Aaron met with the Dalai Lama
Patrick and Rodgers took a trip around the world in the spring of 2018, and it included a stop in India and a visit with the Dalai Lama. During their visit, Patrick was encouraged by a Buddhist monk to show a video of her crashing to His Holiness. As she explained weeks after the visit while on Jimmy Kimmel Live:
“So I was like, all right, this is gonna be awkward in meeting His Holiness, like, ‘Oh, check me out crashing.’ So I showed it to him and he kind of handed it back to me. But then later that night, (the) Lama told me that they watched more of the video, and he thought that it was really, really, really scary and crazy what I did.”
Their trip also included a visit to Zambia, working with the Starkey Hearing Foundation to help provide adults and children with hearing aids.
