"I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list." - Susan Sontag

Long-term travel and living abroad are conscious lifestyle choices. I choose to see the whole world before I settle down, get a real job, buy a car, buy a home... do all those things that get us stuck in one place.

While exploring the world I learn, share and help as I go. I support my adventures through all sorts of work: cooking, bartending, teaching English, writing, personal assistanting...at last count I've worked in twenty-five different professions. My passions for culture, language, food, writing and photography are all fully satisfied through travel.

After living in Canada and Australia, I moved to Laos in Jan 2008 because I'd been there for three weeks prior and fell in love with the place. I got a job managing a bar and volunteer work teaching English . It was the best community I've ever lived in. You can purchase handicrafts I brought back from Laos by visiting http://www.designcenters.com/s-100-laos.aspx . While living in Laos, I visited Cambodia and Vietnam.

In July of that year, I embarked on what I thought would be a short trip with my partner; we ended up riding 1500 miles by bicycle through Thailand and Malaysia to Singapore. We had no training and no guidebook, only a map. It was an awesome adventure.

After running out of money before we could reach Indonesia, my partner and I ended up in Southwest Australia, working as chefs for six months because we'd heard work there was plentiful and paid well. We learned to cook and we saved up a lot of money.

These blogs tell stories about my adventures. I am now back in Laos, the place where my heart feels happy.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore." - Mark Twain
