An Explanation

It was really difficult figuring out a title for my blog. I wanted something humorous, creative, catchy, and witty, something representative of my whole experience abroad. I labored many minutes trying to think of something to call it, but none of my ideas really stuck. And then, late in the night before I was leaving, as I was gathering my last possessions and deciding what would stay and what would go, it all hit me. I have no idea what I'm doing; with my blog, with my travel, with anything. I have no agenda, no plan, no mission, no expectations. I don't even have that much money. I have a backpack, a couple adjustable plane tickets, a travel companion, an adventurous spirit and a curiosity to see the world as it is. So maybe sometime along the way, I'll be able to think of a way to label this thing that I'm doing. But maybe I won't be able to, and I'm totally ok with that...

Pictures and an Apology

I finally bought a card reader, so I can now put up some of the cool pictures I have taken. Here are some pictures of Sapa; I don't have enough time to put up my HaLong Bay and Hanoi pictures. I also reread some of my older blog posts, and noticed how many mistakes there are! My AP English teacher, my brother and mom probably wouldn't approve of these, but every second I'm at the computer typing is a second I'm away from doing the things I'm writing about, so screw second drafts and editing!
