In Preparation

I will leave California in about two weeks and two days to travel for about 8+ months around the world. If you will be traveling in the same areas as I will or know people that would be fun to meet (or even stay with) – let me know! My email is smerecnik@gmail.com. I will be updating this blog as well as sending out mass emails to those you wish to be on my mailing list.

Here is my itinerary (it may change):
New Zealand: Oct 2 – Nov 16
Australia: Nov. 16 – Jan 1
Malaysia: Jan 1 – Jan 8
China: Jan 8 – Jan 29
Thailand (and SE Asia): Jan 29 – March 20
Bahrain: March 20 – March 24
Turkey: March 24 – From Turkey I will be traveling throughout Eastern and Western Europe by train and hopefully ending my trip somewhere in Scandinavia around June. I don’t have a plane ticket back to the States yet, so my return date is not yet set.

I am currently applying to grad schools and will find out while travleing if I got into any. If I do not make it into any, I may stay overseas for longer - we shall see.

My hope is for this trip to be a time of great transformation and enlightenment. I would love to stay in contact with as many people as possible and will try to check my email often.

Blessings,
Karl
