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 …
A Chilled Out Full Moon Party, and Other Adventures on Koh Phangan
If you know even the basics of Thai tourism, then you very likely know about Full Moon parties. Essentially, monthly gatherings where a bunch of tourists consume a lot of substances and wreck a beach. I hadn't had too much interest in one, but this is the story of how I ended up at a …

Such Great Heights
I moved to Chonburi! It's a beach city about an hour outside of Bangkok, and it is a totally different pace of life. As someone who has often been plucked out of one situation by the universe and placed into a far better one, I should not be surprised that I now find myself in …

There is definitely a collective consciousness among us, which has been interesting. I haven't bonded with a group so fast before, but we're all at the …
Barefoot in the Jungle
Temple in Hua Hin I've officially been in Thailand for over a week now, though it feels like I've lived a thousand lives since being here. I've already shed layers, made deep connections, and changed my diet entirely. It's still surreal, but due to mental and physical exhaustion during any down-time I have, I haven't …

Golden Gautama Buddha, Bangkok In the Fall of this year, just a couple months away, I'm going to begin my TEFL course in Bangkok.
