All The Places Creating Takes Me
In case you aren’t an avid follower of my blog, I’ll give you a quick review of my time in Songkhla so far (plus some new information). I was having a rough transition. Though the city itself is lovely, and I’ve had positive experiences here, I was going through/am coming out of an internal purging …
I just had a Thai massage after 2 months, and to be honest I'll be surprised if I don't have bruises all over my body tomorrow. It was extremely painful, which I was partially expecting considering the way I've been feeling this past week. For the first time, I was actually freaked out by the …
I've relocated again, this time to the very south of Thailand, almost Malaysia. I know I moved to the right place because I feel free. I could tell even as I was flying over the region and observing the openness of the terrain. I know its right, because when I walk along the beach in …
I had no experience riding a motorbike before moving to Asia, and Thailand is a pretty intense place to learn. During my TESOL course, we were actually advised not to get motorbikes. Mostly because there aren't necessarily "rules" to navigating traffic, and therefore you have to find your own way. Kind of a metaphor for …
I wrote and posted a rant in the heat of frustration that I've since taken down. I've had some time to regroup and cool off from the situation, and I'm in a very good place now. I'm seeing that all that's happened has occurred for my highest good. I'm looking at my situation as part …
Just typing this out makes me feel like I've lost my hardened New England edge, but it's been cold here since this weekend. It got down to 11 degrees Celsius (which I just had to Google in Fahrenheit, and it's only a laughable 51.) I know, I know, my friends back home are bundled up …
Before coming to Thailand, I had a definite image in my head about what my life would be like. I can, in some part, attribute this to the role social media plays. Travelers visit beautiful places and use the images they collect to make vision boards of the perfect life. Hell, even I do that. …
Currently, I'm in a resort in Sukhothai that is quite far away from anything. I just walked out the door to explore, took a left, almost had a pick-up truck back into me, turned around to grab a Chang and Cup Noodles from 7/11 and came right back. I think it's a night for chilling. …
It's my last Sunday in Hua Hin, and I'm feeling a mix of emotions: the most prevalent of which is excitement for (another) brand new start. My new job is in Sukhothai, the original kingdom of Thailand, located in the northern part of central Thailand. I'll be teaching Kindergarten English/Science/Music AND Yoga! This school wanted …
