My Big, Fat, Gay Trip

This story starts 7 months later. I had left Thailand in November. Months earlier than scheduled and one job uncompleted. Barely started really. A headache for all of those involved to be exact. I had started teaching in Ayutthaya at their government school. Fuck. Thinking about it now, as I sit here on a park […]

Life is a journey. Truly inspirational words and you’ve heard them here first. It takes us here and there and, you might say, just about anywhere. For a great many of my friends, travelling has been apart of their lives. They did it when they were younger and even as adults. I don’t mean they […]

Within the last couple of days, Alicia and I have finally been receiving emails about our jobs in Thailand and the incredible amount of shit that we have to […]
