2nd year abroad, Asia bound.

"It seems to me that most travellers are lost souls, that dont know what they want out of life, but know that in the future it will be just around the next corner. Then they will know what they want and where they are headed. Until they do, they travel the world and live life to the full, and hope they find the corner that will reveal what it is they are looking for."(BenBrown,14/10/06) Trip Number 2. Well I did the regular toursit route last year, Aus and NZ, this time we are going a bit more off the beaten track. The travel plans are as follows.Berea, Kentucky - 1week at a Folk Festival,China - Month Travelling, Vietnam - Month Travelling, Nepal - 6Months Teaching English and hopefully going to Tibet and Bhutan, Thailand - 2Months Teaching English, Cambodia - 2Weeks Travelling, Malaysia - Month Travelling, Singapore - Week Travelling. These are the rough plans for next year, lets see if wee can stick to them. To all those people lucky enough to be joining me next year see you there, to the rest of you that are jealous, Unlucky, but have a Happy Christmas and New Year and see you soon.
