| Introduction | Though my love for foreign travel didn't materialize until 1999, when I took my first overseas adventure as an English teacher in a chaotic suburb of central Taiwan, it had long since been a part of what defines me. Since then, I have ventured to Hong Kong, Thailand, Bahamas, the Dominican Republic, Morocco, and most recently, through 22 countries of Western and Eastern Europe. I am just beginning another chapter of my far-flung travel-focused life in Korea, where I am working as an English teacher in your typical Asian suburb :) At heart, I am a solo traveler, and have found that travel is truly an inward as well as outward journey. An amateur journalist and lover of photography, I have attempted to capture here my impressions, both visual and verbal, of the places I have wandered, seeing with new eyes. May you enjoy the journey here, on these pages, and perhaps be inspired to seek out an awakening of your own. |
