Traveller vs. Tourist. Freedom vs. Itineraries. Blaze your own way vs. the Tour. It's too bad the two don't get along. So I'm going to Scotland, and I found this tour that I think I'd really enjoy. It goes to the places I want to go, it's green, ... Read more >

Life. Life is ok right now. Not great, not bad. Just good.
Nothing special. At times I like the "nothing specialness" because it
means I'm at least not falling. But most of the time I don't because it means
there's nothing to look forward ... Read more >

Some people say true happiness only exists in a state of ignorance. I don't believe that. I am quite happy these days, and earlier this spring, the happiness did catch me off guard - I hadn't realized how un-happy I was this winter and the new feeling ... Read more >

This year for spring break, instead of spending the week being lazy or even cleaning my apartment (which, unfortunately, I still need to do), I had the unparalleled opportunity to spend the week in Negril, Jamaica with a group of wonderful ... Read more >

12:02 PM (again...) CST Reflections... I actually did it! I traveled to a very foreign country all by myself for three whole weeks! I was happy, sad, physically sick, mentally and physically exhausted. I had a good cry here and there - maybe ... Read more >

I’m really going to miss the sense of community we have all developed during our three month adventure. The friends I’ve made on this trip have become some of the closest I think I’ve ever had, and I never believed that I’d meet people who feel ... Read more >

We’re on our way back to Mombasa and my clothes, hair and shoes are caked with dust, my face is a nice mud pack, and I can feel grit in my teeth, but I’ve never been happier. I saw elephants, zebras, warthogs, dik diks, bushbucks, waterbucks, hippos, ... Read more >

Beijing to Hong Kong: Yay! Wendy feels better today! I still feel a little warm and I'm not moving too fast, but at least I can move. We are flying to Hong Kong today and so far, this airport business is pretty rediculous. I will restate my creed ... Read more >
