Taste-test After thinking about it for quite some time, I am finally "stepping into the void". Starting in April, I will be departing my everyday life and going into explore mode for a year. For now, I am planning to be in Eastern Europe for the summer '07, and southeast Asia for the winter of '08. But, of course, things could change. Please bookmark this site and join me in my adventure.

A Chinese Christmas

LUXEMBOURG | Monday, 24 Dec 2007 | Views [787] | Comments [3]

It is really strange to be so out of reach this Christmas. If I think about it though, when I started my gap-year, I had thought I would actually be in Vietnam at this time. I had read stories in my gap-year guide book about how travelers had spent ... Read more >

Time Out

ROMANIA | Sunday, 12 Aug 2007 | Views [921] | Comments [3]

Just when you start to get too wrapped up in your own existance, life throws a bucket of cold water over your head.  As most of my family knows, two of my grandparents passed away this last week.  I thought I could use this forum to write about my favorite ... Read more >

Finally the Beer is Cheap!

BULGARIA | Sunday, 22 Jul 2007 | Views [1958] | Comments [2]

I’ve been moving around so much I kind of feel like I don’t have any focused thoughts to talk about, but overall very positive since coming to Bulgaria. I’ve seen a lot of western Bulgaria already, mostly mountainous and quite beautiful. It actually ... Read more >

A Fold in Time

GREECE | Friday, 1 Jun 2007 | Views [902] | Comments [3]

I think I’m actually getting a sense of what its like to live on the island now. Or perhaps a better way to put it is that I have successfully achieved not feeling like a tourist anymore. Whatever it is, its quite a nice feeling. I keep seeing people ... Read more >

So I got my ears pierced.  I contemplated blaming it on my cousin Jill saying she got me super drunk and dragged me in to the tattoo/peircings place, but the reality is I had been secretly planning to do it once I was on my trip.  It’s interesting…. I ... Read more >

Trials of Being Homeless

IRELAND | Saturday, 14 Apr 2007 | Views [1062] | Comments [5]

So I’m finally in Dublin after what seemed like a planes, trains, and automobiles re-run. I’m amazed how often you have to remind the airlines that you’re still alive and still intend on getting to your destination. Besides the airline shenanigans, ... Read more >
