Traveled 5 South America countries: Argentina/Chile/ Colombia/Ecuador/Peru in 3 months

My solo-travel world adventures began in Fall 2011, when I took a three-month leave from work and traveling Argentina/Chile/ Colombia/Ecuador/Peru to experience Latin American life style.

I got back to Washington DC on 11/20/2012 from my 2.5 month trip to Taiwan/China/Vietnam/Cambodia/Thailand/Nepal/India during September to November 2012. My trip highlights include (1) hiking for 7 days in Annapurna Sanctuary, Nepal, (2) visiting the Halong Bay near Hanoi and a virgin cave in central Vietnam; (3) experiencing cultural shocks in Delhi, India; (4) being victimized by a gem scam in Bangkok, Thailand, and (5) attending 23-yr college classmate reunion in Taipei, Taiwan. Here is my updated blog for your casual reading. http://asiajt.blogspot.com/
