Tomorrow is my official last day of international traveling. That's it. My 3 months are up. I head for New York on Friday to see my cousin. I have been super looking forward to it but there is definitely this side of me that hasn't fully grasped that this is really over. I'm not ready for it to be totally over yet I'm ready at the same time. I'm tired of living out of a backpack, sharing a room with strangers, and sharing one bathroom with 6 other humans. It gets...

I'm pretty sure I caught it in Phuket because I was covered in mosquito bites from there and I came to find out that there is a huge outbreak in Phuket. Also it incubates in your system from 5-14 days and I got sick in Bangkok. The first 3 days in Bangkok were a lot of fun because I spent it with a friend I met in Bali who happened to be in Bangkok at the same time I was. ...
