knockout
i think i’m going to leave this one up to matt, since he took about a bazillion better pictures than me. i blame my lack of photos on sensory overload: bangkok is bonkers, dudes! there is everything you can imagine going on all at once everywhere you look. and we sure had a blast exploring it all! we went to a number of different neighborhoods via public transportation (what pro...

ch-ch-ch-chaaaaaang

a retrospective kaleidoscope
laos is a magical country where life slows down and beauty surrounds you. it was (clearly) easy to forget the distractions of modern life like the internet and doing things. we lounged hard for thirty days and the rest and relaxation we received in doing so was restorative and beneficial to the maxx. we covered half the land we amounted in vietnam and lingered in each town for days longer that...
