After five years working in London, I decided it was time to move back to Los Angeles, but not before taking a year off to see the world. I gave up my great job with Lehman Brothers in Administration and a fantastic flat (and roommate) I’d lived in for over three years, packed up all my belongings into some 60 cubic feet of boxes and said farewell to the wonderful friends I made in London. Before setting off for Asia, I spent seven weeks in the States including a weekend getaway in Chicago with my best friends from high school, corrective eye surgery in Philadelphia, Aud and Rob’s wedding in Bermuda, 13 days in Israel on Birthright (with a side trip to Petra) and time in quiet Oak Park with my parents and sister. Then, on July 18, 2010 at 1am, with only 13 kilograms in my 50L backpack and a small shoulder bag, I boarded a flight to Singapore. The goal of my adventure is not one of self-discovery or mending a broken heart but a journey of true desire to explore the world, experience new cultures, taste various cuisines, explore beautiful wildernesses, meet local people, and maybe learn some Spanish along the way. What lies below are my stories (or more of a daily recount of events) from the road.

New Posts

I have just added four posts to this blog.  Unfortunately, spell check was not working and I didn't have time to edit, so there are probably some spelling mistakes or missing letters.  Sorry in advance.  I will have to post updates from August 15 - August 18 when I arrive in western Russia.

Have added a few albums to my shutterfly site, so you can see some of the photos from Mongolia.  http://ejltravels.shutterfly.com/.

In three hours, we board the train to head west towards Moscow.  Three nights, 72 hours.  We arrive in Vladimir on Sunday at 2:30pm local time.  Should be interesting ride.  More from Moscow.
