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!

17 day countdown!

My first post as a blogger! Woo hoo! So Im still making some final touches on this thing but its pretty rock solid as of right now. Considering my lack of graphic design experience, I think Im doing quite well. 
But lets get down to business... As I gear up for my departure, I am in need of some suggestions on what I should be prepared for. I got my shots, approved for my Indian visa (at least its in the mail), my traveling backpack, what else am I missing?
