Where I’ve Been

Destinations & Adventures

Volunteering with kids in Thailand: One of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had has been traveling to these nurseries and orphanages across Thailand with Dwight Turner from In Search Of Sanuk and volunteering our time with kids in need. Check out some of these cute, awesome little kids.

Krabi beach trip: Late May trip to Krabi province, where I stayed in lovely Railay Beach with Vanessa and Alysia. We made some great traveler friends (James & Dennis) and even inherited our own Thai family (Sanah, Kalim & Sahat). Watch for cheap accommodation suggestions, a longtail boat ride-along, incredible poi dancing, and feeding monkeys on the beach!

Coachella music festival 2009: Come witness this awesome 3-day concert in the California desert. In April 2009, I travel home to the US to roadtrip with friends Megan, Sam, Nicole and Carmen to Indio, CA and see folks like Paul McCartney, M.I.A., Thievery Corporation, Franz Ferdinand, The Crystal Method, Michael Franti, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs in concert.

Cambodia & Angkor Wat: In late March 2009, I take a brief trip with friends Alysia and Carla to the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh and then to Siem Reap to see the ancient temple ruins at Angkor Wat. Watch for sunset at the temple, stunning/eerie photos of the ruins, and watch as we get the special opportunity to witness a Buddhist monk ordination ceremony atop the summit of a steep temple.

Holidays in Spain: I travel to Spain with friends Paul Dickey, Tim Walther, and Ryan Ernst for two weeks in 2007, spending Christmas in Barcelona with new local friends & New Year’s clubbing on the Mediterranean island Ibiza!
