About Me
“If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay at home.” – James Michener
Welcome! I am Shannon and since recently graduating with my Masters of Science in Exercise and Sports Medicine, it has been my desire to explore a part of the world that most of people haven't been to. My journey begins with 3 weeks in India with the coolest twins on earth: Jamie and Michelle Newlon. Afterwards I head off to Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and finally Bali with one of my best friends, Heather Smith. I'll be gone from Aug 8th - Oct 27th which comes to a total of just under 3 months abroad!
It is my goal to share with you the significant stories of my trip including what I encounter, the people I meet, the bridges I bungee jump off of (just kidding Dad) and of course... PICTURES! Hopefully we will have a safe adventure through the "Far East". Feel free to comment, as I will be updating as often as possible. Thank you to all my friends and family who are supporting me on this once and a lifetime crusade!
