I started this blog just as I was about to embark on my first solo trip (that was back in May 2008). It was a way to keep in touch with friends and family and more importantly document this special journey. That particular trip definitely broke down barriers for me. It gave me confidence and it truly made me believe that I could do anything I set my mind to. There's a part of me that knew that already but that trip to Thailand really confirmed it for me. And there has been no looking back ... The time since that first solo trip has flown by and it has been filled with some amazing oppo... full info

I'm a bit behind here, clearly... I have a shirt from Aix-en-province, bought for me by Christine's grandmother when she went. Wearing it at the gym once, a lady stopped me to ask if I'd ever been (I assumed that she wanted to feel my traps but was mistaken). I explained that I had not. She wouldn't stop talking to me about the place, how much I would love it, how great the people are, etc. Eventually, I had to return to my 120 pound curls but she raved about it for quite a while. The moral of the story? Don't buy me a shirt there, I already have one.
