All The Places Creating Takes Me
I've been thinking quite a bit lately about what it means to lead a life that other people don't understand. The concept of that has totally morphed for me. A year ago, I would have said that picking up and moving across the world was a wild thing to do. Today, having made that journey …
Surprise! I moved to Phuket. It has been a roller coaster ride since I made the decision to move, and a very bumpy one. In fact, a better analogy might be a very steep, winding mountain, because that was something literal I had to learn how to conquer on my motorcycle since I got here...it …
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 …
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 …

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 …
There’s a clothing shop on my street that I’ve gotten a few things from. Everything there is secondhand, and a lot of it has been modified, which I’m getting really into (learning some very basic upcycling techniques until I graduate to using a sewing machine.) Anyway, the owner is a very sweet Thai woman who …
In this installment of The Chronicles of Badass Female Solo Travelers, we will hear from my lovely friend and enormous inspiration Tilly, in her own words. Name: Matilda Edwards Age: 20Nationality: Australian Tell me a little about yourself…Imagine you’re in a Beer Garden enjoying a catch up with friends, and you hear this repetitive loud …
The main discovery I’ve made over the past few weeks, is that every day things get easier in some way. It might just be small, incremental shifts, but those are guaranteed to add up. My first week in Sukhothai was by far the hardest of my trip. It is jarring to go from a month-long …
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 …
