Welcome
"It is a glorious privilege to travel far and wide in the world." ~ Homer, The Odyssey
This summer, I will be spending almost 7 weeks in Thailand. I'll travel for the first two weeks, then volunteer at the incredible Burma Lawyers' Council in Mae Sot. This blog will be my online journal, so anyone interested can follow my adventures.
There is nothing I love more than travel, and the third-greatest gift of my life (after my amazing family and friends) has been the opportunity to indulge that passion. I've been to 21 different countries*, mostly travelling alone. This year, I realized a long-standing goal when the Red Cross banned me from giving blood based on solely the places I've travelled. I've seen snow in Jerusalem, splashed around in Loch Ness, drank Mexico City tap water, paraglided through the Alps and danced in the street at Carnevale.
If anyone has ever been to Thailand, or knows someone who has, please pass along your comments and recommendations.
*The list:

You've traveled to 20 countries. You've been to 21 - don't forget the US. :)
I'm checking out my Thai contacts for you. I didn't realize until just now that I do know people there...
Take a boat down the Bangkok river, stopping off to visit the temples and an alligator farm. The temples are amazingly beautiful and the alligator farms are...well...alligator farms.
Hope you have fun in Thailand. I wish I could have the time to travel, fulltime jobs suck.
I DO know this Thai guy, who's now got a thai girlfriend. Been friends with the guy back in Charlotte. He happens to live by DC as well and I play basketball with him every weekend. If you want to ask him anything, I could forward an Email for you.
What's the deal w/ the black template? I'd imagine you to use a diff color.
