What a day (so far)!! I woke up at 8:30 and got into a van to go for a two-hour drive into the jungle for my first white-water rafting experience! During the days leading up to I was quite honestly a bit worried because there are a lot of things involved in white water rafting [...]
06.09.16 Second week of classes at CMU
It’s crazy to think my 2nd week of classes in Chiang Mai has just finished! It’s even crazier to think that I am now about halfway done the program. Where did the time go? Although, when I look back and think about how much I have done THIS far, I am pretty satisfied. As I [...]
06.05.16 Tigers, Markets, and Zip lines, Oh my!
June 5th… what and eventful and memorable day! We started out the day being picked up at 9 to go over to the Chiang Mai Tiger Kingdom to get up close and personal with some tigers. We had scheduled our transportation through the tour desk in our lobby and thought we were going to have [...]
06.04.16
I know I just posted earlier, but I really wanted to take the time to write again about all the fun I had tonight. Around 7 we headed over to the Chiang Mai Gate market to find places we wanted to try for dinner. I told myself I needed to try something that wasn’t pad [...]
06.04.16 I rode an elephant
Hello!! So the title of this post is pretty self-explanatory; today I had the opportunity to go to a place where elephants were rescued and eventually ride and elephant. It’s kind of funny to think these elephants were rescued from circuses and basically brought to another strange kind of circus. Regardless, I had an absolutely [...]

05.31.16 Two more days exploring Chiang Mai
Before I even begin, I’m going to apologize in advance because this is about to be another long one… so once again, kudos to those who actually read until the end. Waking up on Monday was an absolute blessing because it was the first day I actually slept through the entire night and woke up [...]
05.26.16 First three days in Chiang Mai
After picking up my bags and meeting with a program leader in Chiang Mai, I met up with three girls from the group and we headed to our hotel. Initially when we were outside, I saw a couple vans, smaller taxis, and then these red trucks that had the back mostly open. To my surprise, [...]
05.27.16 Welcome to Thailand
Today, Friday the 27th, I landed in Bangkok at 7:05 am. Because of the time of my flight, I was fortunate enough to be able to spend the last two hours watching the sunrise over Thailand. The colors of the sky were out of this world. From the horizon line up the colors were a [...]
05.24.16 flying to Doha
Once it was eventually time for me to board my flight to Doha, I was surprise to find out I was actually zone two, which was kind of nice. I was flying Qatar airways for the first time ever and it was absolutely outstanding! The service was great, I got a free blanket, pillow, and [...]
