http://thecrummylife.blogspot.com/2015_09_01_archive.html
Life - Language - Travel. September 24, 2015. 13 Similarities of Brazil and Thailand. One might think that after living in Thailand for three years, living in Brazil must be massively different. Well, not exactly. While there are plenty of differences, I have spent the first month here documenting things that I feel are similar between the Land of Smiles and the Land of Samba. Since arriving, I have really felt like Brazil is a great balance of my home culture and my first adopted one. September 11, 2015.

Do you remember how good you felt the last time you stepped into a new city, experienced a new thrill, or met someone that really captured your attention? When people move to a new place, or even just visit, they start off in "the honeymoon phase." This magical time is filled with the thought that, like a teeneager in a fresh romance, all of these new things are amazing. 1 Don't worry about the "itis". This sluggish feeling of...

But, I digress. So, I am from a small town, named Twain Harte. Jump pics in Thailand are photo gold. South America left me a little defeated, but showed me how important it is to...

Life - Language - Travel. November 23, 2015. Anniversary Post: The Crummy Life Turns One. I think it all started out of angst. Have you ever done that?

Life - Language - Travel. April 1, 2016. Why Failing Sucks, and What to Do About It. A short while ago, I noticed this pattern that I have. To say the least, it was less than glamorous.
