A 1,000-mile journey begins with 1 step

I'm at the beginning of my trip, at the Greyhound bus station in Columbus, Ohio. I can't believe this day has finally arrived. I'm very sad to be leaving my wonderful friends here, but so excited toMeer informatie
Malaria Pill in Kansas City

45-minute layover in Kansas City. Just enough time to take my malaria pill and a selfie. Passed through St. Louis earlier this morning. The Arch always makes me smile.
Out for now. ✌️
Salt Lake City

After a hot (no air conditioning in the day) and cold (no heat in the night) ride across Kansas, Colorado, and Wyoming, I now find myself in Salt Lake City for the first time. There is no time to seeMeer informatie
Pilot Truck Stop Shower

Yay! After 50 hours on the bus, time for a shower! I had no idea what to expect from a truck stop shower, but awesome is all I can say. 12 USD that comes with towels, soap (also shampoo since I shavedMeer informatie
Snowqualmie Pass

Majestic evergreens stand like useless sentries guarding Mother's wilderness already scarred by electrical lines. Do ya dig IT? Okay, I believe that's enough Kerouac for one bus trip, which is justMeer informatie
The Greyhound has finished

I successfully made it from Columbus, OH to Seattle, WA on three Greyhound buses over the course of 63.5 hours. Whoosh! What a trip, both literally and figuratively. Lots of veterans, including oneMeer informatie

Layover in Guangzhou

Long, 13+-hour flight from Vancouver to Guangzhou via China Southern Airlines. The seats were like rocks, and I was stuck in the center seat, but, my neighbors were courteous and quiet, so not theMeer informatie
Thailand at last!

I just arrived in Bangkok!! I have my travel sim card and am on my way to a hotel. I'm very tired and my feet are still very swollen, but soooooo worth it!
Wat Pho & Reclining Buddha

My first full day in Bangkok began at 8 am on foot. I stopped near the hotel for breakfast on the street, which was chicken-like tofu (I think), soft boiled egg, julianed ginder, a rice porridge typeMeer informatie
Walking under the BTS line

Yesterday was awesome and exhausting. Typical me, I tried to see everything in the same day. The temples were amazing and seemed to be everywhere. I met up with a hasher buddy "Bimbo" for dinner andMeer informatie
Bangkok Hash House Harriettes

I had to post this while it was still fresh in my mind. The Bangkok Hash House Harriettes were the bomb! We had an awesome trail...that got washed away with the rain showers, but it was still good.Meer informatie
The Grand Palace & Emerald Buddha

I woke up early again this morning (0345-ish), but actually got out of bed before 0900 (0745). I took the underground to Hua Lamphong station, then walked down to the river. For 15 Baht (50¢ USD), IMeer informatie
The Lazy Song

Today's theme is Bruno Mars's "The Lazy Song" (https://g.co/kgs/h9s4bh).
Up at exactly 0345 again, dammit. Down the pub for another English breakfast, even though I passed up some awesome lookingMeer informatie
Waiting for the Train

Today at 6 pm, I leave Bangkok on an overnight train to Chiang Mai. I planned to leave yesterday, (Friday) but since I waited until Thursday to get a ticket, I could only get a sleeping berth (upper)Meer informatie
Chiang Mai via Overnight Train

What a great way to travel! I took the overnight train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. It was like sleeping on a padded board (I think that's actually what it was), but about the price of a decent but notMeer informatie
135cc to Doi Suthet

Good day, Monday!! This is how Mondays are supposed to be! Up around 6 am to call my dad for Father's Day, then up and at 'em. A very light breakfast of sticky rice with a warm coconut cream toppingMeer informatie
Sometimes a lack of planning is bad

Here I sit at a shopping mall in Lamphang, about 100 km southeast of Chiang Mai. On a 125cc scooter, that was a long, hard ride, and I am not looking forward to the return trip. All highway andMeer informatie
ELEPHANTS!

Thursday is a hashing day!

Anything I choose to do today would pale in comparison to yesterday's AMAZING time with the elephants. Therefore, I'm doing nothing except laundry until this evening when I'll meet up with the ChiangMeer informatie
Off to Pai

Yesterday, I met up with the Chiang Mai Happy Hash House Harriers for the Thursday hash. Thank goodness I got my tentanus shot before I left. We were a couple of kilometers into the jungle when weMeer informatie
