Sooooooo, I’ve been slacking a little bit on this whole blog thing. Oops. I never thought blogging would be hard. Here’s what I underestimated: I’ve got some perfectionist qualities in me, and that holds me back. I need to be a little more open to being just open, documenting and sharing raw thoughts and feelings without worrying if the words are perfect or not.
With that said, here’s a rundown of what’s happened, really quick, since I last posted:
Just some Ladies on a boat in Ha Long Bay, Vietnam.
• The rest of Budapest, Hungary: Sunsets, party boats, hard work days, movie nights, new, great friends and chilling in cafes
• Moved to Lisbon, Portugal: Lots of heat, helping out other remoters with videos, surfing lessons, an attack on our group, unity and support for one another like I’ve never experienced before, a Lady Jeep visit to the west coast, a girl’s weekend to Lagos and AMAZING beaches.
• Relocated to Scotland: Edinburgh week with my mom, visiting castles, walking 96 miles on the West Highland Way with my brother, and a few days exploring around Edinburgh with my Dad.
• Pit Stop in Positano, Italy: Spent a great weekend with some amazing people discussing storytelling.
• Moved to Hanoi, Vietnam: Slooooooow download speeds, SOOOOO much humidity and heat, a great weekend trip to Ha Long Bay, and food poisoning.
• Moved to Chiang Mai, Thailand: Finally(!) over food poisoning, visited temples, waterfalls, graves, took a Muay Thai Class and eating great food.

I have so many stories to catch you all up on, but until then, I am going to try to start with the present and sprinkle in some of the other adventures, highs and lows I’ve experienced since I last checked in and recorded my goings on.
One thing I can tell you is that I am working on a comprehensive recap and review of the West Highland Way walk. I’m so proud of what my brother and I were able to accomplish by finishing that walk. It was one of, the hardest things I’ve ever done, and I want to share the whole experience with the world.
Next up, I will do a first impressions of Chiang Mai, my trip to Doi Inthanon and my thoughts on Lisbon, Edinburgh, and Hanoi. I’m also working on catching up on travel videos, so look for those in the coming weeks as well. I hope to be all caught up by the end of my time in Thailand. Here’s to hoping.
Until next time, let’s YanSEE YanDO this thing!
