Back On The Road… Soon

It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted out any sort of update on my globe trotting activities–due primarily to an almost complete lack of news worth reporting.
When I quit my English teaching job in China and returned to Australia I had ambitious plans about what I was going to do next. I had overlooked in those plans, however, some basic realities about my willingness to compromise in pursuit of my goals.
After marking my much anticipated one year anniversary of being unemployed I decided that it was time to move on. Three days later I began reacquainting myself with the 9-5 grind, through an auditing job with a large engineering firm. After a few of weeks of that, I decided to make a return to teaching.
For the last month I’ve worked as a teaching assistant at a university–teaching a 3rd year software engineering subject. Aside from the personal gratification that teaching can bring, my newfound employment enables me save a little money to get back on the road.
In about three months time (Dec 1st) I’ll be on a flight to Bangkok. After a quick transit through Thailand I’ll be spending a couple of weeks exploring the jungles of Myanmar (Burma). From there I’ll be heading to India to spend Christmas and NYE partying on the beaches of Goa.
Some friends in surrounding areas (and some from afar) have expressed interest in meeting up at various stages of this trip, so I though it would be worthwhile to let everyone know what my general plans are.
If you’re going to be in the area, or a looking for an excuse to take a holiday, why not join me in Goa for one hell of a party?

Another good reason to go is to get someone as awesome as Raja Ram to tell you to. But then again, most of you bums aren’t sipping macchiatos with your heros like I am. So you’re not invited.

Good to see you’re keeping ambitious and doing your best to escape the grind. In a just world we’d all be so lucky.
And FYI, most the advice and stories have proven to be accurate and worthwhile, so no, you’re not ‘full of shit’. Looking forward to some new stories when your new adventure begins.

This is great! It really shows me where to expand my blog. I think that sometime in the future I might try to write a book to go along with my blog, but we will see…Good post with useful tips and ideas

Well, to soon to say if it’s good, but at least it’s well designed.
I mean I thought I would be blocked after adding some interests, but the site helps you to add more.
