recoup regroup

Greetings from hot and somewhat sunny Thailand! I am currently enjoying this drastic temperature change from cold, windy Korea... but I admit I fell prey to a cold right before leaving so I am still recovering.

My belly is full of delicious Thai foods and fruits... so full, in fact, I took a look in the mirror today and said to myself: Woah! I have to cut back on the sticky rice!

I have no updates as of right now. I've got a ticket back to Korea on March 31st. My job still hasn't booked my ticket back home, so I feel like I'm in limbo a little. Well, I do plan on taking a Thai cooking course in beautiful beachfront Samui, maybe do a little Muay Thai or go up north to Chang Mai. I don't know! Trying to get these good vibes going!

Don't be down, don't be down, don't be down!

And hey, my Thai is coming back to me! I'm thinking in Korean less and less by day! (I think)

ho, i'm alive

No worries. I came back in one piece... but a little bit banged up from my crash.

Yeah... photos soon.

over. start fresh

I feel like the longest winter of my life is finally over.

Going to Bali tomorrow.


We start fresh and we won't look back.

i've got $1,000 in my pocket and a dream

5 days until Bali.

Also, I had the most amazing weekend. Will update tomorrow.

gearing up

I've got a bit of a backlog of blogs, sorry. Just haven't been in a good mood lately.

But! Today I got my international driver's permit in the mail! I can rent a motorcycle in Bali!!!

Sweet, sweet freedom. Although... I've never driven a motorcycle before, so it's going to be pretty interesting getting this thing off the lot.

Also, if I don't post after the trip, please send someone to look for me, I might have driven into a ditch or something.

LESS THAN TWO WEEKS TO GO!!

adventure ho!

Well, today I have an easy day at work and tomorrow is Buddha's Birthday. I have yet to decide where I'm going, it's a toss up between Byeonsan or Tongyeong. Waterfalls or islands? I only hope that I'll be able to find a place to spend the night.


Anyway, my favourite movie is on TV right (subtitled in Korean naturally) but they just ran a commercial featuring the Indiana Jones theme song for action night on the channel, which seems like they will be playing Indy, Tomb Raider, and National Treasure.

The timing just seems right to make this post. Here is what I want my wardrobe to look like now. It's adventure inspired!






I've really gotten into British Colonial inspired clothing. 'She' by H. Rider Haggard is my favourite book. Oh, to be a 19th century explorer!

Of course, most of the adventures seem to take place in Africa, so I chose that as my inspiration. I actually know some people from Africa, they might laugh and tell me no one actually dresses like that anymore. Yeah, I know, and not all Americans dress like cowboys. Hoo hah.


I'm in love with khaki now. Especially rolled up, cuffed pants. I may own a few pairs already. Now to find me some linen blazers, a white fedora, and I'm so set to be off exploring!




What my perfect outfit would look like:
