Erin Goes on Vacation

I know what you’re thinking…why does Erin need a vacation when she’s been on holiday for more than a year?! Well, let me tell you, being a global nomad isn’t a vacation – it’s hard work!

I’m now 15 months into my 2-year around-the-world “living and giving” adventure. Since I started my global trek in January 2011, I’ve been to 41 countries and more than 109 cities. Whew!

Writing Dervish

In addition to traveling I’ve been writing at lot, a whole lot! Check it out – I just:

• Finished the first two chapters of my book (yay!)
• Published my 500th post (man ‘o man!). To view posts and archived newsletters since the start of December 2011, view here: Weekly Update Archive.
• Wrote 26 articles for other online sites in 2011. You can view these articles here: Publication Archive.

Hiking the Himalayas!

And, well, I guess I’m tuckered out. A friend suggestion I take a vacation and I think she’s right. So to rest and relax, I’m going to hike the Himalayas. During the next several weeks, I’ll be trekking the famous Annapura circuit in Nepal and I’ll be taking a 3-week break from writing.

Looking forward to absorbing the Nepalese culture and amazing Himalayan beauty and coming back rested and refreshed (and probably a little sore).

Look for my next *Weekly Update* on Friday, April 20.

Next month’s posts will be all about the tail-end of my Thailand trip, my fabulous 3 weeks in Sri Lanka (one of my 5 new *favorite* countries), and my Himalayan trek!

Namaste, Erin
