Teaching in Thailand: The End
Where do I begin? I planned to have have multiple posts between my first week of teaching and my last, yet here we are! When I accepted my position as a teacher in Thailand for five months it sounded like a long, and adequate amount of time to spend here. Of course, it was not,…

“Don’t Talk About Heaven if You’ve Never Been to Bali.” – Toba Beta
December 28, 2013 – January 5, 2014 Bliss in Bali. My take in 50 photos. I lied. It’s actually 51 photos. Bali was wonderful. It rained 60% of the time and it was still wonderful. Why?

Sawadee Ka, Thailand.
I feel at home. I’m not sure if it’s Thailand or the simple fact that I am out traveling again, but whichever the answer, I couldn’t be happier. I first visited Thailand while in college. I had chosen to study International Business in Chiang Mai (northern Thailand) for two months along with thirteen other WSU…
