WHERE IN THE WORLD IS THAT SLORR: SERIES FINALE

I had a very specific idea for how my last Remote Year / Just Bail post was going to go. I was going to write out a list of lessons I’d learned, some funny, some serious, because I really cannot read one more post about what travel teaches you.

WHERE IN THE WORLD IS THAT SLORR EP. 14

This is starting to feel like when Buffy the Vampire Slayer went through its whole series finale and then they were like, “JK, you get more, even though we killed her.”

Whaaatttt extra bonus chapter?!

That’s right. Remote Year might have ended for Cousteau (it’s 3rd group ever) but that doesn’t mean the journey’s done.

GOOD EVENING VIETNAM, AND GOODBYE REMOTE YEAR

Does that joke play? I can’t really tell, but oh well. Last weekend I said farewell to Vietnam, SE Asia, and all of RY3 aka Cousteau.

When I returned from Thailand summer of 2011 (have I mentioned yet that I once lived in Bangkok?), I came back a better person. Because of that and my extremely positive…

MY BEST DAY OF REMOTE YEAR

Bangkok is my one true love. Yes, the whole country of Thailand is amazing, but I really love that city. My family planned a 3 week long trip to SE Asia (POST COMING SOON, I PROMISE MOM), and I headed to the BKK solo a few days early for a reunion that was better than Before…

Real Talk on Bangkok’s Rooftop Bars

When you go to Bangkok you go to a rooftop bar. It’s THE thing to do. When I lived in Bangkok, I lived in Bangkoknoi, a neighborhood across the Chao Praya from my school, Thammasat, and down the street from Siriraj Hospital, where the King used to live. It’s pretty…
