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 …
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’ve noticed that over the course of a couple months, my priorities and interests have undergone a big shift. I thought before I was socially conscious, and I was, but only in my limited scope of living in a first world country. Living here, I see the effects of all of the wasteful practices that …
If you're reading this, it means I made it out alive and I'm safely back in Sukhothai with my laptop and hopefully a Thai iced tea (I deserve it.) My first ever "visa trip", and first trip to Lao, changed me as a person. Hardened me you might say--like a convict. The amount of stress …
