Just tracking my travels through SE Asia this wonderful summer of 2007 (after my stop of 1 week in Japan). I'm a mother, student, loner, daydreaming gypsy chick, with an insatiable yearning for the open road and skies. I'll be gone for 2.5 months (or until my money runs out - whichever comes first). Why this trip? Well, in short, law school sucks and the only way I can go back is if I first get away. It started as a practical venture that my mind ok'd: 1 month in Singapore doing a study abroad program. As the year progressed though, I knew doing the typical internship either at home or abroad wasn't really what my soul needed. I just needed to go. Feed a dream. Research something I actually care about. Release my expectations and just see what the universe has to show me. Hence, the month of backpacking afterwards.
"All the above is, of course, a gross simplification. There are deeper reasons to travel - itches and tickles on the underbelly of the unconscious mind. We go where we need to go, and then try to figure out what we're doing there." - Jeff Greenwald "Shopping for Buddhas"
