Why Did I Go to Thailand?
As an aspiring martial artist with a lifelong passion for boxing and striking sports, I traveled to Thailand to study Muay Thai after graduation. I started this blog to keep track of my journey both before and after my travels abroad as a place to further explore and define my identity as both a fighter and newly-minted J.D trying to become a lawyer.
I am currently living in San Diego, California and looking for full-time work in the legal field as well as fitness and fight opportunities.

We acquire a sense of worth either by realizing our talents, or by keeping busy, or by identifying ourselves with something apart from us --- be it a cause, a leader, a group, possessions or the like. Of the three, the path of self-realization is the most difficult. It is taken only when other avenues to a sense of worth are more or less blocked. Men of talent have to be encouraged and goaded to engage in creative work. Their groans and laments echo through the ages.
