Thanks for joining me on this trip and taking the time to stop by and visit!

This trip will cover approximately 2 months spanning countries in Southeast Asia, Asia, and Europe after a brief stint in California.

I’ll do my best to update content as quickly as possible, internet connection dependent. Y’all know I tend to avoid social medias, and I don’t consider myself a ‘blogger’. So this is a whole new experiment on multiple levels.

Also, I can’t seem to get the posts to load first to last, rather last to first. So, start from the furthest right/bottom, and make your way to the top. Hopefully dates will help clarify order.

I’ll try to keep these posts as stream-of-consciousnessy as possible, sharing what I find historically/politically/culturally within each place. Of course I’ll try to make sure it still has its ‘Ven’isms’.

Please leave comments should you be so inclined, it is always nice to hear from you!

We all got to have have, some place place that we come from
this place where we come from is called home.
We set out on our travels, we do the best we can.
We travel this big earth as we roam.
Even though we may love, this place that’s on the map.
Said it ain’t where ya from, it’s where ya at.
