I moved to Singapore from Canada last December (2014), and have been in the process of exploring South-East Asia for the first time.

Life has been pretty incredible these past nine months (time really flies!). Beaches, Boats, Brunches, and more travel then I have probably done in the past five years combined. Well, that’s maybe a bit of an exhageration as I have always tried to make travel a priority. But living in Singapore, with Bali and Thailand and Borneo on your back doorstep, it’s not just a priority but a way of life.

The adjustment period was a bit challenging at first. It’s hot. And humid. Traffic flows in the opposite direction. The language is foreign (English + Singapore = Singlish). And you are far away from everyone you know – even people who were already far away are still far away! The only time you get to connect with the folks back home is really early in the morning, or really late at night.

But of course, like all change in life, you adjust. You learn to love the different. You start to relish in the things that now make up your every day reality that would have been inconceivable a year ago (see: Yacht Parties).

Today, I just feel incredibly grateful to be in a position to experience everything this amazing corner of the world has to offer. And I am proud of myself for taking a chance on the unknown and trowing myself into this adventure.

Peace all,

Bedrock
