Vagabonding begins!

 

I just returned home from nearly 6 months of adventure, close calls, and interesting experiences in Southeast Asia.

This year I have been to Indonesia, Malaysia, East Timor, Singapore, and Thailand (for the 3rd time!)

If you haven’t already, you can read about it on my vagabonding blog or check out my pictures in the albums here.

Its off to Colombia and South America in 3 weeks - stay tuned.

Cheers!
