Read about my adventures abroad!
Soooo… it’s been almost a full two years since my last post on here, and yet yesterday I receive a notification that someone liked “Journey Reunion” and started following me. Me?! And that reminds me, I haven’t written anything in my travel blog in almost two years. Oh damn. What a slacker. And I’ve traveled. Dare […]
Read More Consider This Revived…The basis of my trip last year to Asia centered around an opportunity I received to travel to Korea to experience the land from which I came. This year, the same company that sponsored that trip planned a reunion trip and they invited any past members to join. Again, I jumped at the chance. While last […]
Read More Journey ReunionSo, I made a decision when planning what I would do around Tokyo, that I would venture on the train system more and try to get outside the city. Initially I wanted to go to Kamakura, but it’s an hour and a half by train each way, and I felt like I never got up early […]
Read More Yokohama and RamenThis summer I decided to take another trip to Japan/Korea. The same company that sponsored the trip to Korea last year is doing a 20 year reunion trip for any past participants. This year the trip spans a week rather than two, and we are hitting different spots in Korea. I thoroughly enjoyed Tokyo last […]
Read More Tokyo Round IIThe last two days in Phuket were what I came to Thailand for. Beautiful water, beaches, just nature in general that I can’t see in Miami. In some ways it was exactly what I expected and wanted, in others, it was somewhat of a disappointment. Let me explain… The first day trip I went on […]
Read More And So it EndsMy trip is winding down. I will be back to the life that is my reality in less than five days. Besides the brief bouts of loneliness (which I suppose can be experienced anywhere, anyway) I have thoroughly enjoyed my trip and I’m not homesick at all. Sure, maybe I miss my dog and some […]
Read More My Worst Experience So FarYesterday was a long day. The guide picked me up from the hotel and we went to several different temples. I honestly cannot remember which temple had which name, so I will not be listing them all here. Besides, I’m sure it’s not of THAT much importance to my readers. I will post a picture […]
Read More Temples, Elephants, Ladyboys…an Action Packed Day in Chiang MaiToday has been pretty busy. I started a tour this morning with my own personal tour guide, Mr. Suriya. I was informed (actually, I found this out last night when nowhere was serving alcohol) that it is a Buddhist holiday right now in Thailand, so some things are closed and there is only 20-30% of […]
Read More BangkokLet me first say, what a small world we live in. Strangely enough, when I left the Beijing airport to come to Hong Kong, I remember an irate Chinese man at the front of the line with his family arguing with the man working the counter (probably the reason I didn’t have to pay for […]
Read More Last Day in Hong KongLast night I was lucky enough to get a tour of the surrounding area by a local friend of a friend. He took me on the MTR (their mass transit subway system) to the Mong Kok area of Kowloon, where there are tons of street markets. I am staying on the Kowloon side, which is […]
