The Happy Traveler: Malaysian Vacation
http://greatwaveoffshikoku.blogspot.com/2012/08/malaysian-vacation.html
Life with insatiable wanderlust. Vang Vieng, Laos, December 2010. Tuesday, August 7, 2012. First, I want to start off by saying that Southeast Asia is a cool place. I love it there. I look around and I. I'm somewhere completely and totally exotic. I also have yet to discover what I feel are the two best ones, Cambodia and Vietnam. Someday. At midnight and there's no way that would be able to happen. So with the prospect of taking a $50 taxi ride an hour or more to Incheon (arriving at like 2:30am) we...

The Happy Traveler: Thanks For Reading Through the Years
http://greatwaveoffshikoku.blogspot.com/2014/06/thanks-for-reading-through-years.html
Life with insatiable wanderlust. Vang Vieng, Laos, December 2010. Monday, June 23, 2014. Thanks For Reading Through the Years. It's come a time to put this blog on indefinite hiatus. It wasn't that hard of a decision; it's a travel/life abroad blog and I am no longer traveling nor living abroad. I won't be bringing frequent updates on my exotic (ha) Asian life, however when I do. On your deathbed, you will never regret taking that trip to Argentina or Paris or Bali, but you may perhaps regret not. Our lo...

The Happy Traveler: A Little Career Change
http://greatwaveoffshikoku.blogspot.com/2015/03/a-little-career-change.html
Life with insatiable wanderlust. Vang Vieng, Laos, December 2010. Wednesday, March 11, 2015. A Little Career Change. A few of you now know that I've decided to make a bit of a move in my working life. The last time I quit a job on this continent was to move to the other side of the world; that's not happening this time around and probably to the delight of my family. I knew I had to apply and I did. I got an immediate interview and an offer within the week. I am so excited! I'm really sad to be leaving t...

Life with insatiable wanderlust. Vang Vieng, Laos, December 2010. Wednesday, February 19, 2014. Korean School Owners Are. Well, well, well, here it was, a few weeks ago, Al and I were happily counting down our days left here and our days left until vacation, when WHAM BAM,. We were hit with the news that our owner has decided that we're the worst teachers at the schools and wants us out and gone at 11 months. Get a temporary job? If they did renew, will I still be able to work that last month? Our owner ...

Life with insatiable wanderlust. Vang Vieng, Laos, December 2010. Monday, March 3, 2014. My Love/Hate Korea List. To make me facepalm and go "whyyyyyy! Perhaps I'm jaded. Actually, I know I am. But don't get me wrong, I like to think of myself as a very open minded person and I'm more than willing to accept and embrace differences in other cultures outside my own. One has to. Things I will miss. Something that America seriously. Paris Baguette and other various bakeries:. There is some kind of delicious ...

The Happy Traveler: Soul to Seoul
http://greatwaveoffshikoku.blogspot.com/2012/05/soul-to-seoul.html
Life with insatiable wanderlust. Vang Vieng, Laos, December 2010. Wednesday, May 30, 2012. Some views through my window looked strikingly like home. However, with the mountains come the tunnels and nothing makes my ears hurt worse than hurling through tunnels on a train. Airplanes don't bother my ears one bit but trains and tunnels.forget it. Once we pulled into Seoul Station and exited about lunchtime I really felt I was someplace much larger than Busan. It was. The subway map of Seoul! Seen in Busan an...

The Happy Traveler: Dominican Republic, I'm Not Sold
http://greatwaveoffshikoku.blogspot.com/2014/11/dominican-republic-im-not-sold.html
Life with insatiable wanderlust. Vang Vieng, Laos, December 2010. Saturday, November 22, 2014. Dominican Republic, I'm Not Sold. I wish you all knew how exciting this is to write another post. After many, many years of traveling and writing, putting my blog on hiatus was really difficult. The right decision, obviously, considering I'm not traveling or living overseas anymore, but a bummer nonetheless. But I don't care about the Caribbean! New stamp in my passport! But I don't care about the Caribbean!
