Max and I departed from Alex and Emma on August 10th and did some sibling travel before he went to go get some lovin' for Sarah. Before the Goldman departure, our travels ended on the lovely island of Koh Tao. Koh Tao brought many "firsts" for me on my travels, not only am I now a certified scuba diver, I am also completely convinced I can speak to the fishes underwater. They understand me...I know they do. Besides this little detail of being able to speak to aquatic life and being able to breathe underwater for the first time in my life, I also;
-went to my first cabaret drag show and almost cried at the finale as the main performer beautifully mouthed the words to either Celien Dion or Wicked (I can't remember, considering Emma and I shared a lovely bucket of vodka and redbull through out the show) while stripping off his wig, his makeup, his boobs. Obviously, he was a man, proud to be a women, but some of these "men" I am completely convinced were of the female gender. I left the place stunned.
-slept on the cement to our hotel room for the first time while Max excitedly greeted a couple of Chilean backpackers...he had the room key
After leaving Sairee Beach and saying goodbye to Emma and Alex, Max and I decided to set off on a little hike to go find some more remote bays of the island. Little did we know, this 2 hour hike began with trekking up roads that were almost at a complete vertical angle. We then ended up at an uninhabited beach that looked as if it had been pillaged by Thai pirates or gangs. The "resort" was surely unoccupied for some years. We set off to find a "more inhabited bay." Less creepy...if you will.
We decided to take the beach route staying away from these vertically-paved roads, but this indeed turned into a rock-climbing excursion/jumping death-defying bolders. We kept asking eachother whether or not we were stupid or just adventurous, but after only bleeding only three times....we finally made it to our beautiful destination at Moondance Bungalows.

I am sort of getting tired of typing this because I am going to see you all very soon...but we stupidly went to Koh Phangan during the full moon party expecting it wouldn't be a problem to get a bungalow for a few nights...this was very very wrong. Obviously, we didn't end up sleeping outside, but we were damn close. I ended up staying on Phangan for a few more days going to a yoga retreat twice a day (hatha in the morning, ashtanga in the afternoon) and meeting some awesome people that way.
I have now arrived on Koh Samui to end my travels :-(. Ive splurged a little and done the conclusion to my trip a little more resort-style...hoping to get some of the insects and mildeu smell out of my clothing.
Comin home August 25th until I make enough money to pop off somewhere else....traveling is too good to be true and america..., well, is america.
boring.
love you all, talk to you when im home.
