Editor’s note: Grace Perry is a former intern extraordinaire at Amherst Media and now our resident Travel Correspondent. She has set off on the adventure of a lifetime and is vlogging all the way, so we’ll be posting regular updates as they come in. Stay tuned for all the globetrotting fun!

Grace and her best new friend in Thailand.

My name is Grace Perry and I am a May 2018 graduate of the University of Massachusetts Amherst. At UMass, I studied film and television production. I knew that I wasn’t ready to enter the ‘real world’ in a 9 to 5 job post grad, so I set my sights on the trip of a lifetime — a backpacking trip in Asia and beyond. I am now traveling across the world, creating new content as I go. Follow along on this big adventure by subscribing to my social media accounts @gracie_perry, graceperry.net and by following Amherst Media.

Cue the SpongeBob voice…THREE WEEKS LATER….It has been a long and hectic past few weeks. I have finally found the time to sit down and reflect on our trip so far! Check it out. If you like what you see, give it some love. Thanks so much for watching.

UPDATE: Since the creation of this fifth vlog, Adam and I have encountered some really bad luck — food poisoning and a mo-ped crash that unfortunately left Adam with a broken ankle. Updates coming soon in our next video blog.

Adam and I have officially left Thailand. Adam is back home in Boston and I am in Bali, Indonesia. Although our Thailand adventure ended with a broken ankle and a lot of bad luck, we both had an incredible trip. Here is our Thailand video blog Part 2. Thank you for watching!
