HAPPY VALENTIN'S DAY CHARLIE!!!!

Happy Valentine's Day my love... I've been working on this project for about 2 months now, the photos were taken in three different countries; Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. These photos were inspired by my ever growing firey, passionate, true, crazy love for you. I couldn't send you anything so I thought it would be cool to show you that I am thinking about you all the time through a series of photos. I am incredibly greatful to have you in my life, thanks for being so supportive of me and giving me all the love and happiness in the world. You're the sweetest man to me. I love you soooooo much! I can't wait to see you again and have that warm feeling of being in your presence. I love you with every fiber of my being Charlie!

BALI (the greatest place on earth) haha

Wow! Bali is incredible, its what everyone imagines in there mind when they think of dream land paradise. This place has it all. When I first arrived, Yanni was so nice and picked me up at the airport. When we made it to his house and I saw the place I was in complete shock from how big and beautiful it was. Couch surfing is proving to be pretty awesome. Every experience is different and great in its own way. My first day here I didn't have a motor scooter yet so I just went for an exploration run in the morning and took it easy lounging around the pool in the afternoon. On my run I found these stairs that were over grown by jungle plants, when I went down them and made it to the bottom I was stunned by this amazing little beach. It was so beautiful that my whole body was immediatly covered in goose bumps, I was laughing and my eyes were watering.. It was euphoric. I've been thinking about my pops a lot lately and its so cool to be retracing his foot steps. He's such a cool dad, I love you PAPA!!
Today, I met this sweet german girl named Lilly, she's staying with Yanni too, we really hit it off, I'm stoked to be hanging with a girl. Tomorrow we are going to this beach to surf together. I'm looking forward to that. The snorkeling here looks good too. There is nothing bad to say about Bali. I've almost crashed on my motor scooter a few times because I am so drawn to the scenery around me. Oh man do I love my life right now.

Langkawi Malaysia

When I first arrived I was having a bit of a hard time, but now I've found a really great place to stay in the Rainbow Lodge and fun people to be around. The past few days have been fairly mellow, I've just been doing some exploring around the island, settling myself, and spending time on the beach. The Malay people are friendly and can speak english well, so its nice being able to fully communicate again. I'm really excited right now because on the 5th I'm going to Bali to surf surf surf! I can't wait to finally get some good action. Wahooooooo!

Tomorrow I will be on a long bus ride to Malaysia

Today is my last day in Phuket Thailand and I am feeling a little sad about it. This place has so many great memories. I woke up went for my last run in Rawaii, and now I am saying goodbye to all my friends. Its really hard to be meeting people and saying goodbye all the time. I have such a good thing going here and its hard to be leaving it all behind. I do look forward to seeing a new place and meeting more travel buddies. Another journey begins...

Laughter Laughter and more Laughter

The past few days have been amazing, its been too good to explain. I have been feeling something that can only be felt when you have fallen off the face of the planet. I am in a timeless zone. Something has seriously changed in the last few days. I can't quite tell what it is, but its incredible. I have truly let go. I wish that everyone could feel this, because its the most empowering, free, happy feeling ever. It is pure bliss. I am so content with who I am and what I'm doing. If only I could share it, this world might be a better place. I've never had something like this happen to me. I am so greatful that my mind has given me the ability to experience this. It is unexplainable. For the first time I am all I need, where ever I am, thats where my home is. I have me and so many great people to meet. Ok I realize I'm sounding like a crazy person, but its out of this world. I'm so frustrated that I can't communicate with all of you what its like. I am filled with joy, its like my blood is pumping with bliss.

Today was amazing!

Today, I thought was just going to be a typical day at the beach, playing in the water, basking in the sun, meeting people, eating papaya etc. But not today, I met all these really active people who brought a soccer ball, a volley ball and a frisbee! We had so much fun! First we played volley ball, then came my favorite, SOCCER and I just kicked all those boys butts. haha. They didn't know what to do with themselves, I was just pushing them around. When I first said I was going to play, they said to me "You can just stand there and look cute.." and then when they saw that I could hold my own they were like "dude she's good" Oh sweet victory. I thought about you mom and I knew you'd be proud that I was the only girl playing and scoring all the goals. It was hilarious. Then we played frisbee in the water. My time on Nai Harn beach has forever changed.. I'm going to play soccer on the beach every day from now on, I was just laughing and loving every second. I'm stoked! I feel alive. I think Phuket just got a lot more interesting now that I found all these great people to be with. Last night was quite fun as well, Stefanies other couch surfer showed up and we had a delicous pork and potato dumplings with gravy and a few too many glasses of wine. I've never been typsy off of wine before, we were just cracking up and chatting and eating until we burst. I'm putting some funny photos of it. I sure am feeling good.
