Salutations

I said goodbye to Seattle and hello to the San Francisco Bay Area over three years ago. From surfing at Pacifica and Santa Cruz, to developing a career at LLNL, to climbing in Yosemite and around Lake Tahoe, to motorbiking around the peninsula's not-so-straight roads, to weekly yoga classes at Mission Cliffs, to countless nights out and days in the sun with friends in San Francisco, my time in California has been truly memorable. Now, it's time to say goodbye and hello once again.

On March 5th, I will start a four month backpacking trip around Asia. What will I do when I return? Pursue an MBA at Columbia University. But, that's a ways off. It's time to have a lot of fun in Asia before having a lot of fun in New York. While in Asia, I intend to spend the majority of my time trekking in Nepal and surfing in Indonesia. With the loose itinerary I'll be following, I'm sure there will be some exciting side trips, too. The entries in this blog will detail my travel experiences. Enjoy.
