brookeleeyogagirl - Brooke

Brooke I LOVE traveling... and sometimes you just have to go alone...Starting my adventure in Thailand-- then off to Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam...I leave on the 10th of Nov.-- and return..not sure quite yet..
My goal is to deepen my yoga practice in each city I visit... Emerse myself in the culture, learn a few words and phrases, and most importantly -- laugh ALOT ( mostly at myself).

I figure ----if I wait any longer to be a part of the life that I live inside my head.... if I wait until my bank account is full, for a 'someone' to come with me, till Lucee (my kitty) leaves home, til..... If I don't follow my dreams today, right now, then I am not living the life I was meant to live.......

You can subscribe/unsubscribe to this blog if you want to recevie updates as I go.... or you can just check it at your leisure...Post a comment..send me some words of encouragement to keep on going... I am a bit nervous as I have never traveled completely ALONE!.... Hope you enjoy as much as I will!!....xoxoxoxooxo
