I gotta say, with as little monetary resources as I’m working with I still have a blessed and full life. In large part this is due to the beautiful family I will be leaving behind. The community I have built over the past 11 years living in Los Angeles has been unexpected. When I moved to L.A. from Mexico as a teenager I felt like an alien. Now, although the scenery changes as I continue to travel, I take comfort in knowing that the love will always be there, not only for this community I’m saying goodbye to, but for the communities I have yet to meet… in Thailand.

8 days to departure!
