Welcome everyone!

I’ve finally sent out the blog link, please let me know if you have any troubles viewing anything!

Today I head out for the first leg of my adventure! One of my best friends, Josh, is getting married this year and this weekend is his bachelor party in Chicago! I’m super excited to celebrate and it also worked out perfectly so I can fly out from Chicago for this crazy trip!

I was hoping to slowly pack this week… however, I set myself a pretty ambitious goal to record and edit two videos in two weeks so that I will be still posting content while I’m gone. I can say I finished them and I’m in love with both of them! Here’s a sneak peak of the thumbnails (what do you think they’re about??):

My roommate Corey watched the video on the right and he said it’s the best video he’s seen yet, so I hope you all like it too (they’ll be uploading July 29th and August 12th, but if you can’t wait, here’s a link to some other great videos: htttps://youtube.com/@diskcomfort)

But because of this… I didn’t end up packing until literally an hour ago 😅 (sorry mom)! Everything is now packed and I’m pretty proud of how efficiently I packed. I’m known to overpack but with limited space I had to make do! Junior wanted to come too, but sadly he’ll be staying at home. I’m going to miss him a lot but he’ll be in great hands with my roommate! Here’s what my life looks like for the next month:

In 4 days I’ll be boarding my flight to Seoul, South Korea and in 5 days I’ll be landing in Bangkok, Thailand! It’s pretty wild how fast time flies and I’m super excited to go on this trip and share my adventure with you all! My goal is to daily blog, I have a feeling I’ll have some pretty late nights, but there will be a post about every day! I think this will be a really cool thing to personally look back on and hopefully this will help someone going to Thailand in the future!

My life has drastically changed in the last 2 months and even though there’s already been a lot of ups and downs, I couldn’t be happier with my decision to follow my dreams and continue to Escape the Cycle of my daily routine!

Thanks for joining me on this adventure and make sure to say hello in the comments! I’d love to know who’s all following along 🧡
