Last night in the U.S.

So I am leaving tomorrow to begin my adventure. After a 2 day stopover in Taiwan I will be in Bangkok with nothing but a backpack and a Thai phrasebook. I don't think it will really hit me until I get to Thailand that I am actually moving across the world. In the last few days I have had to say goodbye to my parents, grandma, girlfriend, and some of my best friends all to pursue what exactly? I'm not sure. Traveling is the one thing I love to do but as I said goodbye to all these good people I couldn't help thinking if I was doing the right thing? Time will only tell but as hard as it was to say goodbye to everyone, I am excited to start this journey and new path in my life. I have always thought that being a travel writer would be the coolest job in the world but to be a writer you actually have to write and write well. So I'm not sure about the latter but I will write about my journeys if only for myself. There are some crazy stories that are sure to ensue, hopefully I will be able to give them justice in my writing. See you in Taiwan.
