I'm sorry if you're a diehard fan and have been refreshing your browser regularly in the hope that I would update this little site with my fabulous thoughts BUT it seems blogging really doesn't come naturally to me (and to be honest I'd forgotten to log on).
I've now left Cambodia. What an amazing country and incredible experience I had there. I'm so grateful to my colleagues at Chab Dai and Indonchina Starfish Foundation and all of my gorgeous friends for sharing Phnom Penh with me. I met amazing people, heard incredible stories and learnt much more than I ever imagined I would about poverty, education, human trafficking and prostitution. My 4 months were jam packed and fast paced, not to mention sweaty as hell.
I'm now off for a couple of months to explore Europe before finishing my travels abroad in Washington DC where I'll be volunteering with the Salvation Army's Initiative Against Sexual Trafficking.
I've just spent the last week in Amsterdam where I visited the 3 Army buildings in the red light district and truly fell in love with the city. Very rarely can I say I'd be happy to live somewhere other than Melbourne, but Amsterdam is a strong competitor.
Now that I've parted with my beloved laptop (thanks Sar and Ben) and I have only my little iPad - I can't see my blogging going much further (I never knew how much I loved a normal keyboard). I'll be offline until at least August as I galavant around France, Ireland (for my cousin Nanda's wedding) and England - but perhaps I'll get this up and rolling again from the states (no promises).
I don't know if I have a new found respect for bloggers who devote so much time to their writing - or if I simply think they have too much time on their hands! Surely emails, Instagram and Facebook is enough!
I've loved sharing my thoughts with you but I'm sorry to say - I'll be keeping them to myself for now.
xx Miranda
