Leaving For Cape Town

Well, I’m off to Cape Town tomorrow, so my writing will be limited in the coming weeks. I will be there for about a month! I’m so ready to get out of Indonesia… hopefully I can unwind and enjoy some cooler weather. Thanks to those of you who have written me, it’s nice to hear from those who actually read this! I’ll be sure to take some more photos, and will try to post some messages when I find time…Read more

Travel and Adventure

I have 4 weeks of vacation time beginning this Friday. I narrowed my options down to three choices: America, Cape Town S. Africa, or traveling around Southeast Asia.

Cape Town

Wow, that was what like 6 weeks with no entry? Damn. I guess I simply needed a break.

If anyone out there has ever seen Cape Town, you’ll understand my love for this city. It is definitely the most vibrant, resilient, and positive city I’veRead more
