Its go time! I havent updated in a while… I thought the point of this thing was to motivate me to do just that! Anyhow, I have a flight booked for Thailand May12th - May30th with the lovely Laura! So excited. I also randomly met a fella at my bar last week who is an Australian diplomat living in Burma - which means we have a connection there now! He offered to have Laura and I over for dinner and show us around. Only in DC does that shit happen :) On a much more current note - I leave for Istanbul tonight at 6!!!!! I am so stoked. I cant wait for all Turkey has to over, in its rich history, amazing food and shopping and the people I can already tell are amazing (the gal who works at our hotel Yasemin has already been emailing me and we are even now Facebook friends). This is gonna be such a great trip for Ferni and I. There will be lots of photos to follow and I will try to update while I am there as much as possible. Elveda (goodbye) U.S.A Merhaba (hello) Istanbul!

Booked our hostel in Turkey (Uni*Cunt style, so researched it outside over coffee and booked it at home over guacamole and margs!). So excited. It came as a great recommendation from this fella at the bar one night. Plus it just looks hella fun and like they have a great sense of humor. http://chilloutpera.tumblr.com/

This week my little Laura love will be in town for a couple days to book our flights and figure out our plans for SE Asia!!! Lots of folks lately have been telling me we will like Thailand but we will LOVE Cambodia. Can’t wait. This is gonna be a great week :)

The planing/reading is under way! Istanbul trip is pretty set with the exception of where to stay. SE Asia still has lots of planning to be done. Im also trying to read more ahead of time about Buddhism so I have a better base knowledge of the folks around me. Found this great little thought in Buddhist Ethics A Very Short Introduction (love that series) and found this awesome stamp in the back of my travel journal from the airport in Taiwan (layover from last years trip to Bali). Lastly, Snapped this little photo of my tea bag this morning (I’m trying to drink more tea to help get my voice back!).
