Around April 1st, after I moved out of my beloved home in M'lang, North Cotobato, Mindanao, I became... homeless-a tireless trekker. I have since then been traveling all over the Philippines living out of my wonderful, efficiently designed, perfectly sized yellow backpack, which I just so happened to have purchased in the Philippines during my first ever summer as a Nehemier in 2005. Over the past five years the yellow backpack and I have had many adevntures and these past two and a half months we have become especially close.
Now despite my growing attachment to my lovely yellow backpack, I'm happy to announce I now have a living BREATHING travel buddy! No more talking to myself or inanimate objects; I have someone to laugh with, cry with and hand squeez in times of excruciating cultural frustration.
Don't get me wrong, I very much appreciate the loyalty of my yellow backpack; that little guy and I have been through alot and still have two more months to tough it out before either of us gets a break!
...but I have to admit Malloree is a serious improvement as far as a conversational companion is concerned - the yellow backpack, not so chatty...
