Welcome!
Welcome and thanks for your interest in these wanderings! This blog was originally created in 2008 to stay in touch with friends and family on a nine month wander around the world that touched down in France, Italy, Switzerland, South Africa, Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore.
Since then many other countries have appeared in this blog as I continue to travel and share the journey.
My name is Duncan and I am a third culture kid who grew up in Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, England and the United States. I am a mental health counselor by trade now largely providing support to humanitarian/development/diplomat workers and their families around the world.
Change happens but the journey continues.

So glad that you posted these as an antidote to the previous ones. I've not been back to Chefoo and I wonder if I should. Love the jungle pictures.
So good to see photos and read your account. Brought back memories - and I have my sister Heather just visiting from India here too. So it's fun to reminisce (spelling??) and relive our days of 'I went to school in the jungle'.
Thanks for posting the pix of the school even though it's going through reconstruction. The omf bungalow is as we remembered. Maybe one day we'll make it - and take my kids too.
