Malaysian Dreams

It seems strange to me that in the past three months I have stood on four continents – home in Europe, South America for my Argentinian conference, back to Europe, then home to North America, back to Europe, then off to Asia.

When we got back, it became very clear that the way I was living just wasn't working for me. Oddly enough Jeremy was having similar feelings.
