No such thing as a Tame Flame! Hey Flame!
So glad to hear from you and am touched that you are taking the time to read about my adventures in the midst of all that you have to deal with at the moment. I am really looking forward to visiting with you in Aussie and would love some down time. TTYS ;)
Thanks Christine! Thank you for your kind and supportive comments, it really does mean a lot to me. There definitely is some pressure to follow a certain path in life and it can be lonely at times when you get off that path. Not being married, having children or even a job at the moment puts me outside of many circles and I think makes it difficult for some people to relate to me. Although I definitely do feel supported and am blessed to have so many amazing people in my life. So basically my point is- no complaints!! I hope you are doing great and are preparing to meet me in perhaps Cambodia in a month or two to touch up my roots!!! (or even just to visit would be great ;)
Thanks Claire! I've just figured out how to respond to these, so sorry this is a little late ;). I'm really glad that you are enjoying reading about my adventures and have found time to do so in your buy life. How's the 30 page paper coming?? In that regard I don't envy you...not green over here- just a slowly improving shade of tan! I do miss you and the girls already though :(. Keep in touch and keep being your awesome self!
The Amazing Tanya Hey!
You're rock solid support of this trip has been incredible!!! Thanks so much! Yes, I am very much enjoying the beautiful hotel I am at and spend a little bit of time everyday lying by that amazing pool. I'm a little nervous to be honest for when the 'real' backpacking starts and the pampering ends!
I really hope that you are enjoying life and that your garden is coming to life. When are you hosteling it in Oregon?
Hi Kerri!
Thanks so much! It was a little unnerving leaving behind everything to go 'wander' for months, but I am loving it now that I am here. This is an amazing opportunity that I am truly grateful for! It's so great to hear from you, your pics tell me you're a mom now! A late congrats for that!
xoxo

I'm really looking forward to seeing you in Aus. It will seem pretty tame (peaceful) in comparison to the adventures before you....but maybe you will need a rest by then! Love as always. xx
Bon Voyage Hey Raelan
I loved your first post and I'm so glad you are sharing your adventures with us. Thank you for your emotional honesty...it makes the reading so much more authentic and gutsy. I hope your arrival and first day of travel allows you to feel safe and excited at the same time. Looking forward to your updates xxx
The adventure continues! After 9 months spent roaming around solo in South East Asia and Australia and a two month travel sabbatical back home in Canada, I now find myself hitting the backpacking trails once again. This time around, however I'm travelling along side the incredibly wonderful new soul in my life named Jay. Jay and I are starting our adventure together in India before heading back to SE Asia to explore some of my old favourites as well as some of the areas that I didn't get a chance to see the first time around. The 'old life' remains gathering dust in a storage unit in Canada a... full info
