News of the Monk’s protests in Burma
had the Learning Center a buzz. Everyone was excited,

If you have been following my trip, you know that I am
currently living in Northern Thailand,
teaching English at a private language school in the evenings. While I enjoy

I have settled into my new place, enjoying having a kitchen
that I can utilize when I want, and a market nearby to utilize when I don’t
want to cook. It is close to school, quiet, and has a wonderful view. I can
spend my entire weekend out on ... Read more >

It sounded like a gun shot, but I knew instantly as people
where shouting and staring, that I was the source of the noise. My rear bicycle tire had
seized up, and I could see someone pointing at me. I knew before looking that
the tire ... Read more >

Pedaling through the busy morning traffic, I can feel the
beads of sweat on my forehead. I am certain my face is the same shade of pink
as my magenta t-shirt. I figure it just adds to the spectacle that I already

So I haven’t updated my travel journal in awhile; I don’t really feel as if I am traveling at the moment but am more in the rhythm of everyday life. Sure there are some small stories here and there, but really nothing too interesting. However, I keep ... Read more >

I awoke to the sound of rain, quite an intense sound of rain. In fact the skylight in my bathroom was leaking, and every time I sat on the toilet, I got rained on. I had been anticipating hot weather in Laos, and don’t really have the clothes for ... Read more >

I awoke at 7am almost as excited as I do Christmas morning. I could not wait to get out and see Luang Prabang by the light of day. The air was cool from the rain early that morning, and the city failed to disappoint. I wandered in and out of ... Read more >

The very familiar sound of rain on the roof was the first thing I heard when I woke up, but thought nothing of it. I had yet to really see rain since I had arrived in Thailand in January, and chocked the noise up to the wind. I went downstairs and ... Read more >

I awoke early and headed towards a café near Namphu (the fountain, which I never saw on). I ran into several of the people who I had gone kayaking with a few days before. It was nice to sit with some fairly familiar faces and chat. I was envious of ... Read more >

Day off to a rough start. Yesterday I enjoyed not one, but two salads the entire time thinking about how much I missed them. At 2 A.M. I remembered why I currently avoid them, when I was rudely awaken by a gurgling stomach accompanied by sharp abdominal ... Read more >

Well just incase I hadn't gotten enough of bus rides after returning from Sukhothai, I booked a mini van trip to the northern border of Thailand. I needed to renew my visa, and this would allow me to walk across the border to Myanmar (Burma) and back.... Read more >
