- Thomas, if you have too many books in your apartment, why not add one more? Check out “Another Bull Shit Night in Suck City” by Nick Flynn for a seriously different, unique memoir (here’s a link to amazon). It touches on homelessness, drug abuse, and alcoholism, as well as the author’s struggle with his relationship with his father. A heavy book, but it changed the way I think about some of these issues.
- A lot of people talk about traveling, or the desire to travel abroad. Lindsy, you specifically mentioned that you want to go somewhere way outside of your comfort zone: try Siem Reap, Cambodia. It is completely different than anything I’ve ever experienced. The people and culture there are amazing. Of course, there is the Angkor Wat and the rest of the temples to see, which are truly incredible. But I found the most enjoyable times I had there were in town, talking to people, bombing around on somewhat skeptical tuk tuks. And a trip there is ridiculously inexpensive, once you get over the cost of the plane tickets. Here is some more info.
- Merrin, you mentioned you liked to fish and travel. I grew up fly fishing in Northern New Mexico and Colorado. You must check out the San Juan River. Some of the best fishing my father and I have ever experienced. Gorgeous country as well: I can’t wait to go back this May.

I’m surprised that no one else offered advice on this. Finding unique places in the world to go is very difficult and some times a total bust. I find it is always best to find these places through other people or by accident. I will add Siem Reap to my list for future travel! Thank you!
