Anyone with experience traveling through...
I was going to ground myself, but I’m now getting a really great tax refund, which has got me thinking about a trip through Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand — possibly via motorcycle. So, I’m looking for thoughts, suggestions, tips, etc.

Camping spots near NYC →
I’m grounding myself from travel for the next several months, so instead I’m looking at adventures within easy reach of NYC. I will definitely be planning a camping trip this spring (maybe even winter, since it’s been so mild so far).

Home
I’m home from South Africa. My flight got in at 6am, and I’ve got meetings today and a class tonight, so it may take me a bit to get caught up and back into the swing of things. But then I’ll get around to posting my photos from the trip and more details about some of my adventures.

Adventure in Cape Town
Arrived in Cape Town yesterday afternoon. Made friends, and watched the sunset from Signal Hill. Today I’m grabbing breakfast and then headed to Surfer’s Corner. Tomorrow I’m planning on sea kayaking and seeing penguins (and if I’m really lucky, whales). Tuesday I’m booked on the shark cage diving trip. Otherwise I plan to enjoy the weather, enjoy the pool, and read...

Survived the road trip.
Brilliant time at Pilanesberg. Highlights included seeing a Black Rhino. Many photos taken. Will try to post at least one of them soon. Need sleep now.

Road trip!
We finally have our one and only free day at the institute tomorrow, so 5 of us have rented a car and plan to leave at 5am for Pilanesburg National Park. They have the “Big 5” animals, and hopefully we will get there early enough and be lucky enough to see some lions.

Made it to Joburg!
Still super jetlagged, despite sleeping for 7 hours last night and waking up at 5am local time. I’m at the University of Johannesburg for the Democracy & Diversity Institute for the next two weeks, and the campus is lovely. We have class every day, except for some field trip days, so I probably won’t say much more till those field trip days. Our first one is in just a few days to...

Off to South Africa tomorrow morning...
It’s a 15 hour flight from JFK to JNB, so I’ll get into Joburg at 8:30AM January 5th. Not totally sure what the internet situation will be, but we’re supposed to have it on campus, so I’ll try to check in and post some photos while there. Most photos, as usual, will have to wait till I get back to NYC.
I’m not going to take the train from Joburg to Cape Town now,...
