This is what a heavily used passport wallet looks like. (yes, that is a straw wrapper in there; apparently it decided to come home with me from the Dubai airport. Actually I just checked and it is from Chick-fil-a, so it crept into my purse post international trip in January.) Anyway, Welcome to my new blog about travel and whatever else I feel like rambling about. Mostly about travel stuff though. Since I moved overseas at 14, I have travelled as much as I possibly could. I spent high school in boarding school in Malaysia and Singapore, interned in Brazil, backpacked through Australia and Europe, and visited about 28 or 29 countries here and there. saying I LOVE to travel would be a major understatement.
Me with a Tiger in Thailand in 2009
I started this blog because in my past blog I had a hard time finding my voice and what I wanted to speak about. I knew I wanted to talk about trying new things and changing my life but I couldn't really pinpoint how to direct my writing to the point I was trying to make. Since then however, I have been travelling a lot for work and expanding our business overseas. Mainly Southeast Asia. I had this crazy idea to pitch to my company that they should send me over to Singapore to open up our division in the region. By some miracle they actually agreed! So in about a month I will be relocating with just a few suitcases back to the tropics. I LOVE this part of the world and it is truly going to feel like I am going home. 
(10 points if you can spot Singapore)
OK, so I still am not making my point very clear. The reason I wanted to start this new blog is because I truly believe that if I can do this so can anyone. If I can scrounge the money together to go on cool trips and not live like a bum while doing it so can ANYONE! I mean ANYONE! This time around I have my company paying but that hasn't always been the case. I am full of great tips for travelling on budget and having a ton of fun. I think everyone can get out of their rut and try something new (I don't eat bugs though). I think that if your dream is to experience the world and travel then I can help you. So I will be sharing those tips and travel tricks with you! Such as: compression socks for 24 hours of flying make you look like a crazy person while on the plane, however, you avoid looking like a person with elephantitis in their ankles when you are off the plane (and mine are pink and purple like barbie so I look really cool when I walk past everyone to go to the bathroom).
Thank you to anyone hopping over hear from Unstuck Rut. Sorry I sucked at keeping up with that one, but keep an eye out over here because I think we are going to have some fun. I leave to house hunt in Singapore this Wednesday and then have meetings in Thailand all next week so I am CERTAIN I will make a fool of myself and have good stories to tell. (if you are nice I might even go back in time and tell some of my good college backpacking stories like when I got a little tipsy in Australia and thought it would be fun to wade in the ocean in a tiger shark breeding ground, I'm so smart)
