Can't wait for a change of scenary
Hello Nastassia and Benjamin, It is nice to see your pictures, as they have so much diversity (not an old wooden ship). Jordan and I are island hopping around the gulf of Thailand right now, and we are currently on Koh Tao. I am really excited to get to Chang Mai in Northern Thailand and then travel through Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos. Well bye for now keep on exploring. Corey
