Kop Khun Kaa!

Sawatdee Pee Mai 2011 from Thailand!

This post isn't about recapping the last few weeks (although one about the last few weeks will be coming soon)... but I just wanted to thank each and every one of you for supporting us in this journey. This has been a dream for me for almost 3 years, and I still can't believe I actually made it here sometimes. It's been unbelievable.

Kop khun kaa - Thank you. :)

Verbatim from my Teach in Thailand application:

"Ever since studying abroad in Spain and traveling around Western Europe for a summer in college, my interest in traveling to different places and exploring new cultures has become a passion that I simply cannot ignore. As graduation approached in May of 2008 and most of my classmates were already hot on the job hunt, I was creating a list of countries that I desperately wanted to explore after college before settling down in a business-related career. My dream was to island hop around Asia all the way down to Australia for about 4 months before returning to the US. Only two small things stood in my way: a lack of funding and no real plan for actually executing my grand idea. I reluctantly resorted to getting a job in online marketing and put up postcards from my past trips on the walls of my cubicle to remind myself of the world outside my office building.

Working in the real world has given me a new perspective on what I want to do with my life, and that is to find different ways to utilize my strengths and passions to make the world a better place."

Don't lose sight of your dreams, my friends!
