Where in the world is MJ you might be wondering? At the moment, she’s in back in Thailand. 

Since I last wrote, literally months ago, I have walked hundreds of kilometers/miles in 5 countries, crossed the equator to the southern hemisphere, climbed well over a thousand stairs (I never stopped to add them all up) and a few mountains, visited dozens of temples, and visited the third largest island in the world (Australia excluded). I’ve met many beautiful and wonderful people that have left a mark on my heart and made my journey richer. The jungles of Borneo were amazing. The traffic in Hanoi was overwhelming. The simplicity of village life in Laos was heartwarming. Time with my Thai family was joyous. The beauty of Bali was rejuvenating.

My plan is to go back and write the detailed stories. Stories that capture the feelings, thoughts, and details beyond what I post on Facebook or Instagram. All those encounters that make my journey more robust. For now, I’m enjoying the journey and exploration. Not just of the locations I’m in, but of my mind, heart, and soul.

While you are waiting for the stories, you can follow me on Find Penguins (it’s free): https://findpenguins.com/4zxhmhwlogout

Hopefully these tidbits of my journey and the pictures will hold you over until the writing can happen. (And please don’t expect the tales of my trip to be in chronological order.)
