Pan-Asian Gallivanting

Sorry for the lack of updates to this blog but I’ve been quite tired of the normal “traveling” that I’ve been doing the past 6 months. Besides updating this blog, which is actually a pleasure, I always have to worry about where I will sleep, where will I eat and whether the food is cooked hygienically, my safety, how to maneuver from one destination to the next, and whether my passport and money/credit cards are secure. Not to mention, taking 6-15 hour bus rides continually during my time is starting to get to me. To be honest I’m a little tired.

So, instead of continuing on to India, where I would be constantly on the move, I’ve decided to head back to one of my most favorite places in the world. The Philippines! Not only are the people there utterly friendly and kind, but I’ve got some friends there as well who I’ll be able to visit with. Seeing how my birthday is coming up I think this is a good idea since a birthday alone is no fun.

Also, I’ve come to realize that I am blessed to be relatively young and live in a country where saving money is feasible. Therefore I will always be able to see India and other places that I intended on visiting had I continued to venture west. Who knows, maybe I’ll still have the option to hop over to India before coming back to the states? All I know is that I want to be in the Philippines right now!

So….take me to the Philippines!

Of course I’ll try to continue to update this blog, but I won’t make any promises.
