What an incredible incredible experience in Atlanta!!! So short!! From 1am Sunday til 11am Monday. Fast and furious!! I feel so rich and full and fulfilled. My AirBnB hosts were so freaking sweet. They refunded me the night I should have stayed there, but couldn’t due to my cancelled flight. They were so curious about me and my life. I…
I am hesitant to write this blog in fear of tarnishing the tranquil perfection that is the Thai island of Koh Mak during the low season.Intermittent torrential downpours and cloudy days failed to discourage me and my two friends from enjoying the plentiful near-empty beaches, swim spots, and jungle treks available to us.

My travel buddy and I ventured up north to Koh Ma, a tiny island just off the coast of Koh Phangan. Two opposing currents meet to form a sandbar connecting…
Airports are like their own sovereign nations. Every time I am in one I feel at home and at peace. I can figure out where I need to go. I can ask someone for help. Helpful signs abound.
