Miss you already! Hey Trisha, love your blog, will be reading it often now, to see what you are up to and how you are going. Keep it touch! Glad we all had such great times together, i will never forget all the fun and laughs we had! Love Medea.
Amazing! This is looking like the place to be. Wow. I'm renting sisterhood of the traveling pants tonight. Love the scooter! Killing it!

Too much fun!!! Okay, young lady, you are having way too much fun!!! I think you need to get your butt home right now!! hahahaha!!! Just kidding, glad to hear that your trip is still as incredible or actually more than you expected. You are such an amazing young woman and I have never been overly worried about your traveling by yourself. (Notice I said overly!!) I knew that you would make lots of new friends and have the time of your life. Just remember that all of our experiences in life have the potential to be positive or negative. How they end up has everything to do with attitude and you have always had a good one. Love you and keep enjoying your time. Thanks for taking the time to blog so the rest of us can share in your journey. Gail
Writer Your so amazing at capturing everything. I love your pictures and love you. You have truly captured Greece. Your tan, beautiful and look as happy as anyone can be. Love the kite shots especially.
All I can say is Incredible!!! Wow, what an amazing place and experience. You are going to have a hard time getting back to a "normal" life!!! I think you need to find a job that combines your passion for kiting and traveling. Maybe you could become a "reporter" for a kiting magazine and travel the world and critique different kiting spots!!! Now that would be perfect, kind of like Samantha Brown on the travel channel. Hey, now that is a good idea. Maybe you should contact them and put a bug in their ear about another show. I know it would be a hit and you would be the perfect host. Something to think about!!! Love you. Have a great time on the rest of your trip and keep on blogging for the rest of us "junkies." Gail
Song You singing....I don't think I have even been the benefactor of your dubious tones. Sorry you lost your camera but it looks like your friends hooded you up! A picture is a reminder of a moment. A memory isn't something you can capture so I don't think you lost anything and this blog is as good as any picture book.
One More Time!!! Hey, aren't we going to get one last blog update before you leave to come home. I am living my life vicariously through you right now!!! I need my fix!!! Love you.
All I can say is "WOW!!" Between the scenery and the crazy-ass stuff you did you have to be on a permanent high right now!!! It looks like you are having the time of your life and have met some incredible friends. i was worried about you be over there "all by yourself"!!! I guess that was a stupid thing to worry about. Looks as though you have met a whole bunch of really nice cool new friends that you will probably stay in touch with forever. How cool is that?!! Just a couple weeks left before you have to come back home to reality so make the best of it. I know you will. Love you, Gail
FUNNNNNNNNNnnn T! So much fun!! I'm going to be there in just four short weeks - can't wait. I'm sad I'm missing you, but cannot wait to compare notes!!! Love you lady...see you on this side of the world sometime soon I hope!

Wow, it looks like you are having an incredible time. I hear new Zealand is absolutely gorgeous. We sent my parents there for 6 weeks as their retirement gift and they both said it was fantastic. They did the bus thing too. They always wanted to go back!! I am glad to see that you are with a group and making lots of new friends. Of course that is just your nature!!! Love you and miss you. Enjoy the rest of your trip and I loved the long blog!!!
Love it' Love the pictures and loved reading about it. The memories, oh the memories. Looks like you had a great group and good friends to pass the holidays with. I'm very greatful that you were able to fill the holiday void with such good times. Does Frank ever smile in any of these pictures?
Looks like great times!!! That would be a hard place to leave. Looks like you had an incredible time with lots of fun new friends. I am sure they will miss you as much or more than you miss them. On to New Zealand, though and a whole new adventure. Love you
Goodbye Lancelin Boo Hoo Thanks for the great story on international kiters' haven. What a great place! Monty also returned with pictures of lodge dining in 04 so it is interesting to see those (as though) again. What's the news on your knee? All better now? It looks like you were able to kite in spite of it. Let the healing continue. The summer looks so wonderful; I almost wish I were there myself. Now your solo journey really gets underway! No doubt the Lancelin kiters will also be following your blog. Seven more weeks of travel? Wow, good for you, and keep those blogs coming!
love,
Linda
Miss you lone travler I miss you too sweet ripper kiter and coolest women in the world. Xmas just isn't the same without you:( Don't have too much fun without me. I love reading the blog. So weird to be on this side of the world reading, instead of your side of the world writing it. Live it up lover for both of us.
Proud of you! Hi Hon, It's Sunday and I'm watching the Seahawks. Their tied 0-0. We missed you yesterday at Chad and Debbies. Was a great day. Lots of food and company. You make me so proud! I love telling people what you are doing. I look at your pictures and all I can say is Wow! I was so bummed the other night when you called .I missed talking to you by a second. I'm going to be really busy the next few months crabbing. The Indians are doing well now and I hope it stays that way. We dump pots on the30th and start on the 3rd of Jan. We need to set up a time to talk on Skype. I love you and miss you so... much! Dad.
Greetings from the Cold North!!! Thanks for the update. I am sure it was hard for you to say goodbye to Monty but remember this is now your time and take advantage of every precious moment!!! We miss you a lot but find comfort in the fact that you are having the time of your life. Stay safe and keep in touch. Love always, Gail
:) SOLO TRAVELER! Kill it lady - you're going to have so much fun, learn so much - and you definitely have my respect! Can't wait to hear - and can't wait to see you when you get back! Love from rainy Seattle!! XO
October 2009
Trisha and Monty just embarked on a journey of a lifetime! A product of an arduous 3-month fishing trip to Alaska. Full adventure, part kitesurfing, a little spiritual, a bit of culture and some good soul-searching. We departed the U.S. October 4th, 2009 for a 10 week odyssey to the other side of the world. This is our story.......... and what a ride it was!
December 2009
The ride was so sweet, Trisha extended her trip for 7 more weeks. After a bit more time in Australia, she will travel to New Zealand on December 30th for 5 weeks. A trip to South America is on the hori... full info
