Welcome! You have arrived at the beginning of my backpacking adventure through Southeast Asia. I suggest you take a seat, grab a snack, and get ready for pictures!

During the winter of 2014, after one hectic and amazing semester studying abroad in South Korea, it was time for a two-month long winter vacation. My travel buddy and I chose to spend this time backpacking through Southeast Asia.
Our journey began on December 21, 2014 and ended two months later on February 22, 2015. We managed to make our way through four countries: Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. This post is devoted to our shenanigans in Thailand.
More than anything else, this trip was made special by the friends we met along the way. They are not all pictured here, but I want to thank every single one of them for showing us newbie backpackers a ridiculously good time!
Words cannot express the wonder and freedom we felt during the this two month trip. Thankfully, I returned safely with hundreds of pictures to share (peruse if you dare). I'll let them do the taking. Enjoy!
