Statues At Temples… On Being A Buddhist Imposter.

This post was originally published on 28 March, 2023, and moved here, to my new blog. I absolutely love visiting Buddhist temples. Every one has it’s own energy. Some feel empty, and some feel full of energy and peace. All over Thailand, from Bangkok to the most rural places imaginable, there are temples (Wats) in […]

Wat arun At Night, Across the River, While We Eat Dinner And Act Like Cheesy Tourists

This post was originally published on 25 Feb, 2023, and moved here, to my new blog. I had to add a few (more) Cheesy tourist shots. This was actually a pretty beautiful restaurant on the Chao Praya River running right through the middle of all of Bangkok. We had a great view of the main (stupa/chedi/pagoda) […]

The Things You Find On The Beach In Vietnam

This post was originally published on 16 Feb, 2023, and moved here, to my new blog. I wanted to do a post on here about the strange and beautiful things I find every morning on my walk on the beach. I found pretty shells, and… … more pretty shells, and… … this cute little orange, and […]

TIA’s And Travel.

This post was originally published on 5 Feb, 2023, and moved here, to my new blog. I’m alright! Cue the Kenny Loggins here. I really want to thank everyone for their concern and for reaching out to us over the last week. It has been a bit frightening at times, traveling abroad in places where English […]

Tam.

This post was originally published on 29 Jan, 2023, and moved here, to my new blog I can’t even begin to tell you how grateful I am to this girl. She is the best part of the best parts of humanity, and the best part of my waking up every day (well, along with coffee). […]

Vietnamese Emergency Rooms.

This post was originally published on 28 Jan, 2023, and moved here, to my new blog. We had the distinct pleasure of visiting a couple of emergency rooms here in Vietnam on Wednesday. It was a bit of a scary story, and at this time, everything is okay. I walked into a bathroom at the […]

Landscapes

This post was originally published on 22 Jan, 2023, and moved here, to my new blog. We found this great little stretch of coastline. It has the greatest rock formations, and some of my favorite landscapes, where the arid desert meets the blue ocean. There is something that feels so impossible about such a parched […]

Epiphanies and motorbikes.

This post was originally published on 14 Jan, 2023, and moved here to my new blog. We think we can know ourselves, and predict our realizations and epiphanies based on the stories we create and tell ourselves. We can not. We come to realization on realization’s time, and no sooner. We can’t predict the when […]

Going, Going, Gone Baby Gone…

This post was originally published on 11 Jan, 2023, and moved here to my new blog. We did it!None of this feels real in any way at this point. For the last few months, I have been saying (mostly to appease my own anxiety) that I wouldn’t feel any sense of realizing the results of […]
