WELCOME!

Sawadeecap or Sawadeecah (for the females)!


With less than a week remaining before we depart for our semester in Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia, we feel an overwhelming excitement to meet you and begin our adventure together! As we sit at the Carpe Diem Headquarters in Portland trying to finish our final preparations, and hear the rush of the cool rain on the roof, we can’t help but daydream about hearing tropical downpours on roofs across SE Asia.



This is our first entry of our story together. This blog will be a great way for you to keep in touch with family and friends over the course of our journey. Over the course of our adventure, we will be rotating a designated blogger of the week, giving each of you a chance to share your experiences online. Be sure to inform your fam and friends of the link!



Be excited! The next few months are sure to be filled with lots of amazing food, beautiful scenery, and lots of opportunity to explore personal growth through our group dynamic. As you make your own final preparations and pack your backpack (remember less is more), you might have some questions, feel free to email us!



Until next week,


Alex and Jackie
