| 20th April 2009 Joyce Major | Keep up the great travels - From: Phnom Penh, Cambodia Oh so sorry about the memory card. I guess it's not really travel unless there are some major screwups. I know how frustrating it must be but you've got the memories!!Maybe one of these times I'll swing back to Asia. Right now loving Ukraine. have fun! . |
| 20th April 2009 Nicole chiang | charming! - From: The Library Boat i love the library boat! and especially the shot of those little slippers by the boat... i can just imagine the amazing experience you had with the children at the orphanage. there are so many things we take for granted in our city lives which these folks derive joy from .. and i guess that's what touched me the most about such travels. it's like you learn from the people you ventured to teach. |
| 12th April 2009 pesci | It must be experience of a life time - From: NorthernThailand - Elephant Sanctuary Thats coooool or was it not :) . How did the elephants reacted to new faces. Its one of the daring work to volunteer as well isnt it...!!! Thanks, for the info on this , i have planned to read the book "Smiling at the world" .. Keep your energy going & write lots of blogs over here. |
| 12th April 2009 Jayne | Beautiful elephants - From: NorthernThailand - Elephant Sanctuary Hi Laura, How even the nicest of Thai people can exploit these amazing animals is hard to digest. What a fabulous week-long experience! Wallowing with elephants is such a heartwarming experience, isn't it? They're giant beauties :).... Can't wait to see more photos of your trip! Jayne |
| 12th April 2009 Lara Stone | WOW. I love the Thailand and elephant pics and stories - From: NorthernThailand - Elephant Sanctuary It was so fascinating. I would NOT have been able to bring myself to eat the bugs either!! But I wish I would...just so I could say I did! I can't wait to show my girls the elephant pics especially. What a wonderful way to volunteer. And 6 days without talking to anyone. I'll bet we don't know anyone else who has done that. I camped overnight by myself once, and I couldn't believe how long THAT seemed without talking to anyone! You've sure picked a good time to be gone. The rest of the world seems to be struggling to hold itself together. Keep on posting pictures. I'm living vicariously through you! They're wonderful! |
| 11th April 2009 pesci | Good to see ur post - From: Northern Thailand How about the food in thai? you got the taste acquired, & how about the spice in red-curry, you liked it!!!! |

| 26th March 2009 Elizabeth | Heartwarming! - From: Volunteering in Vientiane What a wonderful story--about the school, the children, and you working with them. And how cool is it that a woman taught them karate! Glad to hear that your eye injury just left a little scar; it looked gnarly! (It's funny, I did one of those fb quizzes with Sammi and Sasha the other day, and one of the questions was, "What is something your mommy always says?" And independently, they both said, "What where you're going!" ;-) ) I think you should write a book about all this! |
| 23rd March 2009 Jayne | What an amazing experience!! - From: Volunteering in Vientiane Hey Laura, How long are you staying in Laos? Looks like you're quite at home with all the kids.

| 24th July 2008 Angel, from Valladolid | Planning your next adventure? - From: I made it to Santiago and the end of the Camino! Hi, Laura, I had been in differents occasions in Santiago (it is not a merit for an Spanish) and I had saw the botafumeiro swinging, and I have to subscrib it's definitelly very moving, however it's much more intense that feeling when a friend of mine is relating her spiritual experience in the Camino and she has come from US to Spain with that objectif. I've enjoyed a lot reading your comments about my country and, please, I hope be informed upon the next step in your travel around the world. Many many thanks and best regards. |

| 15th July 2008 Eileen from Ireland | Your Pictures are just great! - From: Galicia - Celtic Spain HI Laura, You may remember meeting my friend, Cecily and I on the camino--- we were the 2 Irish girls(?) who sang an Irish Blessing for you and made Andrew(another Irish pilgrim,) sad. WEll done on finishing the camino. I loved your pictures--- they brought alll the memories alive. Not back home yet-- spending a little time in the sun in the Canaries. Eileen |
| 15th July 2008 Fred | Thank You - From: Galicia - Celtic Spain Laura, seeing your blog made me smile with thoughts of my own camino experience last year. I was tickled when I saw so many familiar sites. I winced when I saw the pictures of your blister. It takes a lot of courage and perseverance to keep walking day after day with one of those! I hope you recover from your camino experience well - it took me some time before I could get over the blues of missing the camino experience. I also found it difficult to explain fully to friends and family just how deep the camino experience goes. Don't feel bad if you are short of words to explain it all. If you're curious about my experience both during and after, you can go to http://www.musingsonthecamino.com. Buen Camino! |

| 15th May 2008 Ron | Madrid is Beautiful - From: First Stop - Madrid, Spain I lived in Madrid for 3 years in one of the suburbs (Majadahonda) and LOVED it. The night life in Madrid is beyond comparison and it is truely a city that never sleeps. Go eat at Botins in Plaza Mayor (it is the oldest restaurant in the world), the food is a bit pricey but it is world class eating. Don't drink to much Spanish Rioja! |
