Sooo, procrastinating from a paper that was due yesterday. *headdesk* What's wrong with me? Senioritis or what?
But anyway, I figured that since this is my travel blog, I should tell you where I've been so far, and what's better than a visual aid? Thus, for your viewing enjoyment, I present a MAP!:
And there you have it, my travels thus far. Currently I am (unfortunately) in America, as I'm finishing up college, but I hope to rectify this sad state of affairs soon. More on that as news comes; I don't want to jinx myself.
I've left the country three times (well, kinda four). The first was when I was 17 with my family, and the second was when I was 18, a solo backpacking trip through Europe for two months. All the maroon European countries are because of those two trips.
The summer when I was 19, I went to the Thai-Burmese border to teach English to refugees for 2 months. I only entered Burma for an afternoon, because it was required in order to renew one's visa, which expires each month if you don't have a work visa. (Since my teaching work was, technically, illegal, since the refugees were there illegally, I didn't have a work visa.) I do not endorse tourism to Burma, because the tourism infrastructure has been built largely by their extremely corrupt government, and the tourists' money tends to be directly funneled into this government. Trust me, not a good thing.
Before I got to Thailand, I spent three days in Tokyo, Japan, on a fortuitous layover.
After I got back from Thailand, I went to stay in Canada for a few weeks.
And there you have it-- my travel history thus far. Hope to add to that list of countries before too long!
