Elephants in Thailand
I went to an elephant sanctuary and had the chance to feed and bath the enormous animals. It was an amazing experience. I also met some more travelers.
“You’ve Never Met Anyone Like Us; I Promise You That”
I met some British guys on an ATV tour and they were a blast! I tagged along with them while checking out the bars and clubs in Chiang Mai.
Train Ride to Bangkok
I took the train from Chiang Mai to Bangkok. It was ten and a half hours and we were a couple of hours late. We often went backward to make room for an oncoming train.
Discovering Bangkok, Thailand
I went on a bike tour in Bangkok and it was at night to avoid the heat and humidity. I also visited the famous Khao San Road.
City Living
I spent a few days in the city of Bangkok. It was crowded and hot! I took advantage of the AC at the mall and took a boat on the river. I was ready to get to the islands.
Bangkok to Phi Phi Island
I flew Air Asia from Bangkok to Phi Phi Island, which was a disaster. Don’t trust this budget airline. I was happy when I finally arrived.
Phi Phi Island is One Big Party
I spent a couple of days on Phi Phi Island, partying with some new friends. I drank way too much! One day, we rented a boat and drove all around the island.
Krabi, Thailand
I took a boat from Phi Phi Island to Krabi and stayed the night. I went to the market and met some people from Poland. a woman in the pool swam right up next to me and said I have very white teeth.
Koh Tao Island
I rented a motorbike to drive around Koh Tao Island and it was a blast! It’s the best way to get around the island. The island was as beautiful as Hawaii, but a fraction of the cost.

Throughout her wild 3-week journey backpacking 220+ miles in the California Sierra Mountains, Christy encountered freezing temperatures, pelting hail storms, and losing her way, but found trail family, incredible views, and experiences that would change her life forever. Hiking up and over ten different mountain passes gave Christy a lot of time to think about why her nine-year marriage was falling apart, gave her the chance to truly embody her individualism, time to make new friends, and the strength she would need on and off the trail. Her life could never again be the same.
This is one woman’s account of the three weeks she spent on the iconic trail.
From Readers Favorite: “... a compelling non-fiction adventure story of finding strength in the face of adversity and learning how to believe in yourself.”
