Finding My Fix: Chronicles of a Travel Junkie

Bus drivers, Museums, Bungy, and a scenic bike-ride

James Blunt was playing on the radio two days ago… two different stations… and it made me so happy! James Blunt has finally hit America!

I’ve been back a month and I still occassionally use the New Zealand spellings, the English inflections, and the Aussie vocabulary that I picked up while traveling. I still say, “cheers, mate, sweet as, where are the toilets?, no worries, university, hostel, flat, queue, pub, pissed, etc.”

I still have four more posts left to write, the pictures are already uploaded and linked, I just need to write the dang things. I promise it will happen, but between trying to bring my funds up out of the red zone, while still planning this coming semester in New York, and a summer-long Europe trip, I have little time for writing.

So here’s my general updated itinerary for this coming summer. It’s a lot shorter than originally planned, but you can be guaranteed I will have new adventures to share, new boys to tease, and new languages to speak:

May 13 – Aug 25

Paris (with NYU friends)
London (with NYU friends)
Cardiff
(some of these cities, as I have met at least one person from each: Oxford, Birmingham, Manchester, Doncaster, Northampton, New Castle)
Edinburgh
Glasgow
Belfast
Dublin
Madrid
(other parts of Spain, Portugal, and Morocco)
Italy
Greece and Turkey
Germany, especially in the South (promised I’d visit friends)
Copenhagen and maybe more of Denmark (promised I’d visit friends)
Stockholm and maybe more of Sweden (promised I’d visit friends)

Hopefully next summer I’ll get to see all the places I missed, such as all of Eastern and Central Europe.

My last day in Bangkok, I wasn't entirely unhappy to leave. I'll admit it. I was ready to get home. I pretty much just spent the day walking around, then sitting outside a Bon Pan at the Central shopping mall ... [Continue reading this entry]

Alright, so where did I leave off...? My flight from Seoul on Korean Air was long, but not unbearable. It was the first of a pair of nights I would be spending on airplanes. I managed to sleep during a good ... [Continue reading this entry]
