I am back

Well, I've postponed updating my blog because I wasn't sure what to say. I'm still not sure. I am back in New York. I spent 5 months traveling in China and it was an amazing experience on many levels. The questions most people ask:

1) How was your trip?

My trip was wonderful, thank you for asking.

2) Is your trip over?

I am back in New York now for a while. I will definitely be traveling again in China, other parts of Asia, and other parts of the world someday in the not-too-distant future.

3) What was the most amazing thing you saw/did ?

It is really hard to answer this question, basically everything I saw and did for the last 5 months was amazing in some way or another. If I have to pick some particularly highlight, try looking at the pictures from Guilin & the Lijiang river and Yangshuo, those were definitely particularly beautiful and memorable days.

4) Why'd you come back? / I didn't know you were coming back so soon.

I didn't really know either. I made most of the decisions on my trip very spontaneously, including this one. Some days I felt tired on my trip and some days I felt like I could go forever. It's nice to be seeing my friends and family and to be back in Manhattan for a while. I feel when I do travel next, I will feel energized and ready rather than perhaps taking it a little for granted having been out there for so long.

5) How's being back?

I feel like I'm living in a dream, but maybe that's just the jetlag.


My old phone number works if anyone wants to reach me who hasn't already. Those of you here, I look forward to connecting with you soon. Those of you there, I'll be back one day.
