One of the first questions people ask me when I tell them about this trip is “why Asia?”. My reply is usually something along the lines of “why not Asia?” or “because my family is from there”. While they are both major factors in our decision to choose Asia, I think the main reason is […]
This past summer I looked for ways to make money…to begin enabling my Life After Cubes. One of my more successful ventures was to sell back old textbooks on Amazon. I started with my old textbooks and was amazed at how easy and how fast they sold on Amazon (No, I don’t work for Amazon […]
Today we received our backpacks in the mail courtesy of Jason Lucash. (Thanks again, Iguanadon!) Today I also called my optometrist and picked up my year’s supply of contact lenses. Yesterday I even called my pharmacy and attempted to pick up my prescription of another medication but thanks to the dump that the economy took, […]

I have a shocking announcement to make…are you sitting down? I’m sure you are…most people don’t read the computer standing up. My announcement: I plan on creating practically no itinerary for our trip! This is the exact opposite of how I tend to do things in my life. However, I could not be more excited […]

After a little bit of work in the morning, I’m excited to get that started. Last time I wrote about what Life After Cubes means to me and I wanted […]
