Stuck
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
Original or Knock-off?
I was walking around the shopping area outside of the base and found it amusing to see so many young Korean girls who were rocking “Hip Hop Video chick” or the “Hood Chick” attire.

The guesthouse owner came to my room and told me that he had asked a couple if I could go with them for the day and it was already settled. Of course I was mortified. Continue reading
My Warm welcome to Cambodia
I think I’ve made it quite clear on this blog how much I dislike Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur due to the scams and other tomfoolery that occur there. Well so far I feel like a few cities in Cambodia are coming in at a close second. Continue reading
