Tomorrow I embark on another new journey, a new continent, new culture etc. I'm headed to Thailand .... Finally! Seems like all backpackers go here first but I guess I'm leaving it for the end. I really wanted to do a whole SE Asia trip including Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, but due to time constraints it just won't work out right now. I'm spending a good 3 weeks in Thailand, which 3 days in Bangkok to see some sights and friends and then over to the island of Koh Samui to get into yogi shape at absolute yoga academy (first recommended to me by my first yoga teachers)
After Thailand I'm headed over to meet a friend of a friend in Hong Kong! We are both awesome travelers so it'll be nice to dine together and sightsee since as of yesterday I'm flying solo again for the next two months :(. I also want to see one of my friends from CUW who lives there. Should be nice....finally going to HK too!
My final destination on this trip before I head back to Michigan for the holidays is Bali. Bali is where I chose to do my yoga teacher 200hr training (RHY). It's in ubud where I spent a good 3 weeks last February just hanging out. It's really nice there and thought it would be a good place to continue embarking on my yoga learning. That starts November 16th. I'll be spending my 30th birthday doing yoga, but hey I guess it's just another day!
I got accepted to study with Saraswathi at SHRI K. PATTABHI JOIS ASHTANGA YOGA INSTITUTE in Mysore India for the month of January 2016. I think doing this would be a great accompaniment to my teacher training course and to embark more on a Mysore/ashtanga journey and a guru. I really want to try and make this happen so God willing I'll be able to still afford and travel to India to do this for a month.
After January......will it be Detroit, Phoenix, Denver?? New Zealand?? I cannot decide yet...but NZ is sounding better and better and if the NZ $ gets stronger it will be a win win. I applied for my working holiday scheme visa a few weeks ago and got approved. So.....I just have to decide what is more important right now in my life. Traveling some more and taking in new cultures and experiences outside of the US or settling down a bit more and getting a puppy? Ha! No puppy yet but sounds homey!
I forgot to mention....I'm flying business class from Cape Town to Bangkok through Doha on Qatar Airways and then Bali to Michigan business class through Korea on Dec10th. I love flying business! Thank u miles!
