Haven't really been good about updating the blog here but I will get to it soon. A quick update here. After Cambodia I went to Thailand. From Thailand I headed into Singapore and worked my way up through Malaysia and back into Southern Thailand. Following that I headed into Burma and currently in Laos. I am proud to say....I made it a full year! In 2 weeks I will be headed into India and Nepal for 70 days. Then I have 2 months for Europe and then home! Hope all of you are doing well back home and I promise I will update here soon!

Siam Reap, Cambodia
Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples were AMAZING. This is one of my favorite sites I have seen in my whole trip and consider it an equal to Machu Pichu. I am lately finding it hard to find things to write about and don't feel like I have had too much on my mind to really write about. I have currently been thinking about the fact that I am coming up on a year of traveling and what a crazy thought that is. Sometimes I am excited about traveling and other times I am very numb to how much I have seen and done. I hate it when I loose the appreciation for what I am doing. Some days I wake up stressed about the thought of going home and being stuck back in that routine of life. Then the next day I will feel excited to return back to that which stressed me yesterday. Some days I have more friends then I know what to do with, and others I have no friends at all. It's a roller coaster and I just try to hold on for the ride. I am glad that I left during this "crisis,"and I didn't have to stick around and worry all the time. There are times I wonder where I would be if I would have chosen a different path. I am sure of one thing and that is I feel good about what I am doing and I kn0w when I get home, I will be ready to be there! I miss my family and friends and look forward to seeing you all in October, for now I just going to keep on keeping on, on my journey around the world!
Phnom Penh, Cambodia
The capital of Cambodia, Phnom Phen is an interesting yet slightly depressing place with a list of sights to see that include sad stories of war and tragedies. The place is packed with touts and tuc-tuc drivers wanting to take you anywhere and everywhere. While here we went to the shooting range to fire off a few fully automatic weapons, and followed that by going to the Killing fields. After that we went to a school (M21) where it was converted to a camp where the people were massacred by the thousands. For the next 3 days I felt horrible for going to the range and playing with weapons and really felt like it didn't belong here.
