Recovered photos: Return to Kuala Lumpur
I’m writing this post after having been back in the States for four solid months. I’m back to “normal life”. I still think about my trip every single day. I wonder what my goals are too, now that I’m in the city working. It took me a while to accept that I need to make time for writing.

There is also the excitement of discovering the different ways to get around a specific country…
