a monday morning note from tuktuk to tuktuk:

keep the island peace and serenity in your heart.
release your butterflies.
first consider: what would wolf do?
be light. laugh easy.
remember the sunsets and don't forget we don't wear shoes on the island.

im not coming home.

thailand is my newest and truest nirvana.

these need to go up before thailand.

maolin scooter road trip and all the beautiful discoveries that ensued:

 so once upon a time a typhoon came and wiped out this entire area, making a giant natural gorge between the mountains. we road tripped there on scooters and drove down a butterfly meadow to set up camp in the gorge. camping with twenty people in this huge, uninhabited area is pretty amazing. it means loud music and a giant dancefloor is what it means. and fireworks. among other magic.

 a perfect place to fly a kite
