It's interest how quickly life can change. One year ago today I was boarding an international flight, taking me to Thailand and eventually to Vietnam. I had never been to Asia before and suddenly I was going to be there for a whole month. Looking back, I honestly didn't really know what to expect, but my time there exceeded any expectations I might have had. Before arriving, I didn't realize how safe I would feel while exploring the big, busy cities as well as the remote countryside. I didn't realize how warmed I would feel by the smiles and respectful bows that strangers constantly greeted me with. I didn't realize that I'd encounter some of the most beautiful landscapes I've ever seen. I could go on and on, but safe to say, I was hooked. Months later, I found myself boarding another flight to Asia, but this time to Indonesia to improve my photography and to explore a new country. What an amazing experience! The hook sunk deeper. And just recently I bought myself another flight to Asia, this time to Nepal to trek parts of the legendary Himalayas. I'll have gone from never having been to Asia before, to suddenly going 3 separate times in less than a year and a half, and before even departing for my 3rd trip, I already know that three trips is not enough.
"The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience." -Eleanor Roosevelt
