Day 137! Today was a great mixture of work, exploration, and play! It started off as a normal, chilled worked day. But it turned into a nice day on the island with a beautiful beach and finishing it off with great live music! I woke up on the early side…

Going to Koh Tao’s biggest party: the Jungle Party
Day 134! I’m having a blast on Koh Tao! Being a hostel volunteer has really been the right decision. It’s something that comes very naturally for me… to the point that it reminds me of hosting all the parties and gatherings at my apartment in Kansas City. But… just with…
