I had to get a new passport this year. And since I love passport stamps, I've gone on some awesome trips in '09. But nothing compares to being in Bali, Indonesia. It was during February of 2002- the Year of the Black Horse- Chinese New Year.
Home-base was Taiwan. I moved there in '01 with my buddies from Taylor University- Chris (Mitch) Mitchell & Derek Rust. We taught English to the cutest Taiwanese kids. And we found adventure with Amy, our new friend from New Zealand. So the four of us decided to ring in the Chinese New Year on Bali Island.
We have stories like you wouldn't believe. The pictures can't even begin to describe what we encountered. Oh, to be young and invincible again...
Amy, Derek & Mitch- thanks for the journey! The whole experience was life-defining for me. You challenged me to embrace things unknown and I will forever be different.

I don't fit well in a box, but if you are just catching up with me, I am a 30-something, a first-time home-owner, a camp director, a child development enthusiast, a mentor in the inner-city and a traveler. I sometimes pack stilettos in my backpacking pack, pair antiques with Ikea furniture and lie awake at night pondering how I can live my story in a way that brings more honor to my Creator...
And these are my adventures.
And these are my adventures.

That brought back some fond memories... Probably because there were no photos of your ant fried rice and the greedy monkey. - Chris Mitchell
