So I'm going on a trip...

Through a series of events which I could not have predicted even a month ago, I am apparently starting a 3 month Southeast Asia excursion on January 9th... WOO HOO!!

My current flight outline is: Newark - Dubai - Bangkok - Delhi - Newark

Basic Itinierary:
Jan 9 to Jan 17 - Dubai, UAE
Jan 17 fly into Bangkok, Thailand, go overland to Cambodia
Jan 18 to Feb 3 (?) Stay in Siem Reap Cambodia and work on Engineers without Borders agriculture assessment
Feb 3 to Feb 8 Return to Bangkok for some beach experience!
Feb 8 to Mar 30 Tour India with Ana & Jesse
Mar 30 - April 10 - Nepal Trek??
April 10 to 15 - Finish up northern India

My intense desire to travel is not the main motivation for this trip, since in truth the trip came to me. My current work situation, my desire to understand myself, the freedom I have, people who will be traveling at the same time, it all lead to this decision so of course it must be the right thing to do!! I find it increasingly more difficult to make changes as I get older, but life is calling... I must answer...

Leaving the people I love is painfully difficult for me since recently, more than ever, I have learned the incredible gift of a supportive family and friends, but I must remember that 3 months passes like a strong wind...

I hope that I will do some good on this trip and will try to be diligent about this blog so I can share it with whoever is so inclined to notice...

Till later...
