A Blonde With a Backpack

Hello my wonderful friends and family! Today I have officially been in Thailand for  week! The time has flown by and I just finished up my week long teacher orientation in Bangkok. Tonight, I'm moved into my house, but tomorrow all of the unpacking begins! This week I was able to do so many incredible things! I will write a few blog posts about what I did since it was so much, but I will start with two things below 😁 These two pictures were taken from our hotel in Bangkok. We stayed on the River of Kings and our view was so very breathtaking! Every day was filled with training and classes, but we had time to try fun restaurants and bars together at night. These set of pictures are from a river cruise on the Kings River! We had a great time doing karaoke, drinking Thai beer, and eating delicious food. Our boat went by this wonderful bridge and the Royal Palace. All of these pictures in this set were taken in Bangkok! My friend got to feed...

I had the most incredible going away party with friends and family yesterday! We dined on tri tip, Caesar salad, brownies, cookies, and many other traditional American food! We played a great round of trivia on Thailand and I loved getting to spend time with all of my favorite people. It was so fun for me to have so many groups of people I care about come together:sorority sisters, other friends from college, teacher friends, and even family! I will miss being surrounded by this much love and kindness,  it is feel it was a very perfect send off. Now comes the fun/crazy part: packing up everything I need in one suitcase and a backpacking backpack. Wish me luck! 3 more days until I depart!
