Well, I never wrote a closing entry to my trip. I suppose in some ways writing this meant I had to face that it was really over!
During my last few days in New Zealand, I met some wonderful people, including Mani, who runs Intersex Awareness New Zealand.... Read more >

But I guess I should start before today, with yesterday, which will be part 1. (Read that last sentence in a Winnie the Pooh voice). I had smooth bus ride ... Read more >

I made the most wonderful mistake of picking too awesome of a place to stay at the first couple of nights in Bali. I slept in late both mornings because it was so peaceful, with only a screen for the window and the breeze rolling through.

My first day in Ubud, Bali was relaxing and nice to say the least. The trip here was a bit stressful, but since arriving that has dissipated.
