Summer Travels: 2011 Edition
April 17th, 2011 | Categories: Travel | 10 CommentsToday I embark on a whirlwind journey throughout the magical, mystical land otherwise known as southeast Asia. Two friends and I will be backpacking throughout Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and finally, Taiwan. It’s going to be insane and crazy and definitely the adventure of a lifetime.
I can’t wait to share my adventures as they happen (pending Internet access, of course). I’ll try to check in every once in a while to let you know how I’m doing!

Hi, I'm Manda. I'm a college student studying communications and languages. I like to read, shop, bake, and travel. I have a tendency to listen to my favorite songs on repeat for hours on end. Sometimes I catch myself thinking in a language other than English. 
I hope you have a fantastic time, Manda!
Holy crapola — color me jealous! Have a ton of fun! I can’t wait to hear all about this.
Backpacking? I am indeed jealous since I haven’t done that in so long!
Be careful and have lots and lots of fun to share with the rest of us!
