When I first came home, I said I’d write about the things I never had the chance to while I was away. There’s plenty that I saw and did — from the temples of Angkor Wat to trekking in Chiang Mai to exploring the ancient city of Petra — that I never wrote about that deserve to have their stories told.

I had planned to offer more tips and tricks of travel, especially in Southeast Asia, and some guidelines or activities that I loved for those about to head East. Well, I’ve been doing a crappy job. Aside from offering up my experiences with the Immigration Detention Center (which I still recommend more than anything), I haven’t really said much of anything.

Enter my idea for a series of posts with the headline, “A Look Back.” To get me writing and you all reading again, I’m going to write these look back posts whenever I have a spare moment, in addition to other content about my goings on back home.

Be on the lookout for the first one, about diving on my favorite Thai island, Koh Tao!
