Time to get the suitcase out and start packing. Figuratively, not literally. Just yet anyway. My next adventure is beginning 7 November 2024 with a one-way ticket to Thailand.

This next adventure is more than just a trip. This next adventure is the start of a new life. Life as a nomad. I’m embarking on living a dream that started over a decade ago. The dream of living in Thailand and not just visiting. I plan to spend some time writing my book (fiction but based on reality), visiting the places that I haven’t yet visited in Thailand because I haven’t had time, and of course, an occasional visit with elephants.

So while I count the days until my airplane departs in the early dawn and I begin another 24 hour journey to the other side of the Earth, I am going through the mental exercise of determining what to pack for this trip. Beyond the clothes, what items do I take that I want to keep in my new life. A quilt I made, because it does actually get cool every now and then in Thailand and it’s nice to curl up in the comfort of a quilt. Electronic picture frames that give me visual reminders of my friends across the world. We’ll see what else ends up in my suitcase.

I look forward to keeping in touch through my words and sharing my adventures with you!
