I loved it and was reflecting on 'Why I Travel' when a friend shared a great quote from Alain de Bottom: "Journeys are the midwives of thought. The furniture insists that we cannot change because it does not; the domestice setting keeps us tethered to the person we are in ordinary life, but who may not be who we essentially are." I posted the rest of the quote on my blog - it's a long one! (http://clareherbert.com/?p=1856)<br /><br />Best of luck with your travel plans - if I can help or advise, please feel free to reach out. I've love to help.

I saw that you are planning to hit SE Asia and thought you might be interested in a blog I did when I went backpacking with my boyfriend in that region in 2008 (address is www.leechesandbeaches.wordpress.com). We spent most of our time in Indonesia which I know is not on your itinerary but we absolutely loved it. I'm sure you're aware of this but the backpacker trail through Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam is extremely well-trodden. Excluding Bali, Indonesia sees far fewer tourists and it has some amazing natural sights (such as volcanoes) and wildlife (eg orangutans in their natural habitat). Just a thought anyway!<br /><br />PS That 'real world' comment makes me laugh. There is an alternative to the 'cubicle lifestyle' but some people who are stuck in it and who are bitter about being stuck in it don't seem to want to acknowledge this....Jennifernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1098737005229942449.post-31037224266174966232011-12-23T15:31:18.803-08:002011-12-23T15:31:18.803-08:00Thanks lady : ) Yay for connecting through blogs!Thanks lady : ) Yay for connecting through blogs!Devon Passhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01313599940414989580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1098737005229942449.post-32529994264960904312011-12-23T15:03:17.983-08:002011-12-23T15:03:17.983-08:00Please never stop writing about yourself!
