I'm writing this blog as a snapshot of an interesting time in my life. I loved someone who hurt me and it just so happened that I had been saving money to visit his far-away home, so now I am spending that money on a long awaited ADVENTURE.
And I'm going on this adventure alone.
I thought about waiting until I could talk a friend into going with me, but that logic there is the reason I have so few stamps in my passport. So wind, meet caution! (Throwing motion.)
And here's where we start: yesterday I purchased a ticket for less than $1,000, including traveler's insurance (yeah medivac coverage!) from JFK to Bangkok and will be gone from Feb 4 - Feb 23. I've got plans to volunteer at a "day care" (read: alternative to scavenging at the dump) in Phnom Pen for about 10 days and the rest is up in the air.
Tomorrow I think I'll write about the things preceding the purchase of said ticket and also about the things I'm (not) doing to prepare for the adventure. Hint: haven't read more than the intro in my Lonely Planet books. Yet.
Yes! I am beyond excited that I get to read the thoughts of Sarah as often as you post them. Bring it. How I wish this was an adventure I was able to go on. I love you! And now I get more of you. Lucky me.
ReplyDeletehere's a thought for you: when you're lying in your bed tonight, are you going to be thinking about how you can write something to sound witty in your blog tomorrow?
ReplyDeletei know i am.
love oyu.
Hey Sarah - It's Alana Moretti, remember me? You writing a blog is enough inspiration for me to figure out how to set-up these reader thingies. (I am so not with it, seriously.) I will be following your adventure!
