Hello, Hello At the moment I am back in Chiang Mai. I have decided to give it a go and try to stay/work for at least a year. On Monday I am going to Chiang Mai University to find out information on their teaching english program. If all goes well, I will be starting the course on April 6. I would like to come home in May, but as of now that is tentative. With that being said, let me tell you a little more about my travels. My last blog left off with me enjoying the serene islands of Laos. [View Full Entry]

OOOOOkay! So sorry I have not updated my blog. Soon as I left Chiang Mai there was a lot less down time to write. The internet is also very slow through most parts of Laos and Cambodia. So basically I am a jerk. Have not written about going through 2 countries. Sorry!!! I am in Vietnam at the moment. Arrived on Feb. 12. Hmmm, what can I say, I have had quite a trip so far. I am having such a good time. This is def. one of the best decisions of my life. In order not to bore you, I [View Full Entry]

Hello! Well I've been scolded by my granny for not writing in awhile so I figured I'd better get to it =). Yes, of course I am still in Chiang Mai. Went to get my Visa extended for 7 days and they messed up and extended it for another month. I thought I was going to have to leave here after Christmas but now I can stay till after New Years. I'm happy about this because I will be able to spend New Years with people I know. It might have been very lonely if I was forced to be in [View Full Entry]

Rock climbing was exhausting!!! I highly recommend it but only if you are in your peak physical shape. I was not. The night before I went was my first real meal since I have been sick. I love how I always have to do the stupid thing first i.e. sign up for rock climbing before I am all better. I learned my lesson big time. Barely slept the night before so when my instructor picked me up in the morning the first words out of his mouth were, "Are you okay?" He said these same words to me about 50 more [View Full Entry]

Hello, It is so much easier to write this blog when I do it more frequently so sorry you might get a lot of emails. So I have started TAJ(Thailand after Jeff), and so far it's been pretty much the same. Very relaxing. I am feeling better but it is still hard for me to eat a lot, and I'm scared it will happen again. I'm sure I'll get over it. The old Tasha will kick in soon enough. Okay so I moved from our lovely hotel to a guesthouse that was recommended to me. It is nice, it is hard [View Full Entry]

Hello, All is good over here. I have been getting a lot of emails about the airport being closed and my safety. Airports reopened today and I feel very safe=). Jeff left for San Francisco a few hours ago. I'm sad. I really had a great time with him besides both of our run-ins with the dreaded travelers illness. Jeff and I had a few days in Pai before he got very ill. Pai is a great place to relax in. The only problem is it is insanely COLD there at night! I had no idea. Can't believe it, I actually [View Full Entry]

Okay....let me think....Can't believe we have only been in Thailand since Saturday. We have done and seen so much. Jeff and I only stayed one night in Chiang Mai then headed further North to Pai. Chiang Mai was a lot bigger then I thought it was going to be. So much smaller then Bangkok but still a substantial city. Our travel agent friend Ronnarong hooked us up with a great place there. Almost too good to be true. We are going to head back there for Jeffs last night in Thailand, that is if Bangkok airport re-opens. Anyways, upon a suggestion [View Full Entry]

Hello! So Jeff and I made it to Thailand safe and sound. Are flight was great. Being at midnight, him I slept about 8 hrs. China airlines was awesome. Anyways, we got into Bangkok checked into our room and slept another 8 hours! All that sleep really did us good because we have not been feeling the jet lag. Mine was way worse when we went to Ireland. Okay so...Bangkok was Bangkok; Busy, crowded, crazy, loud, etc. We were great though. Navigated ourselves around, didn't fall for tuk tuk and taxi tricks. I am very proud of us. We ate at [View Full Entry]
