Start here: Where, now?

In the past several years, I have embarked on five international adventures lasting one month or more. For four of them, I traveled solo. The first started with a month in Copan, Honduras, working with the Instituto de Archelogico, and ended with howler monkeys, a skiff to Belize and near-death in Guatemalean mountains. The longest, to Europe and North Africa, was three and a half months. My most recent--to Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia--was a far-off two years ago.

I just finished graduate school (cultural and medical anthropology), and decided this was the perfect time for an extended "vacation." Hopefully I will be able to convey how traveling can be quite far from the notion of what a "vacation" is expected to be. Mostly this blog will be about the trip itself, and be forewarned that some of the most revealing experiences come from struggles with language, infinite trains, and the neverending search for a soft bed and warm food. I'll also start off writing about the last trip- mostly what everyone wants to know- how much does this cost?

So, whatever this is-vacation, travel, an adventure, holiday or backpacking, in less than one week I'm flying into China, and 6.5 months later I fly out of Singapore.

Those are my plans.

I look forward to reading of your travels.

Quick request: I can't seem to get a nice close-up view of your travel expenses. Is this deliberate, or do you just not have a BIG version of it? I'm just curious about how you broke down all the expenses (date, category, currency).
