After two years of Peace Corps service in Timor-Leste, I traveled Southeast Asia for almost six months. The last thing I did in Asia was do a cycle tour around Taiwan.
Atauro
I love this place. I have only gone twice, but each time was so rich in experience and memories. Saudades. If you can, go. If you can’t, enjoy the words and photos.
A Week in Jogja
A story from my first time travelling abroad solo. This was a time of a lot of firsts. Yogyakarta is an amazing city and I hope I could capture some of it’s allure in this brief story.
Running, Possibilities, a Birthday, and a Beach
A long-winded story about running and friends. It reflects well the era when I wrote it. The first half is much more worth reading than the second, though I often think about Jacinto.
Chocolate
A short story about successfully making chocolate in rural Timor-Leste and unsuccessfully convincing my host family to do it too.
Peace Corps Training
Mostly photos from my three months of Peace Corps training in Gleno in Timor-Leste. So many memories in this blog, so many more not.
