I’ve been in Korea for a few days now and I honestly feel stuck. There have been plenty of times along this journey where I felt unsure of everything. Unsure if I was doing the right thing being on the road or if I was in the right place. But this time I’m questioning all the above in addition to “what next?” and “where to next?”. Continue reading

On E…
A few days ago I made the decision to disconnect my stateside mobile, disable my facebook account, and limit my contact home to one day a week. The fact that I was traveling with two girls who were starting to get on my last damn nerves drain my energy, traveling so quickly was becoming overwhelming, and I was still trying to keep up with what was going on at home I was feeling like I was running on E.

I’m reading that I’m tackling some heavy issues that most people don’t often speak about. There are a few things that I hate to go into detailed discussions about; religion, politics, and the whole “black” thing. Give me a minute to explain the latter before you press the X at the upper right hand of your screen. Continue reading
