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!

Change of itinerry

Sorry there haven't been any updates in a few days. We've been on the road constantly and haven't had time to write anything. Moreover, wireless internet is hard to come by in India. Anyways, we had a major change on our itinerary... Originally we were going to go from Delhi to Varanassi to Khajuraho to Agra to Jaipur . But because Michelle arrived so late, we wouldnt be able to make it Jaipur by Wednesday. So instead we went to Rishikesh in the Himalayas for 2 days and tomorrow we set off to Agra then Jaipur. Lots has happened in the past few days but I assure you: Ill give you a better run down hopefully tomorrow. In the mean time, heres a couple things you can expect to hear about:

Trekking in the Himalayas
Attacking monkeys
Hindi temples
Beers in Delhi
Monsoon rain
Crazy, irratic, off the wall driving
Phenominal Tibetan food
Strange men farting on Shannons leg
New dance video footage!
And more!

Namaste from India
