In 1999/2000 I spent almost a year travelling in south-east Asia. For those of you who knew me back then, you know I communicated mostly through group emails. I sometimes felt weird writing them, because I never really knew if people wanted to read them. I was never sure who to send them to, and the response from the people I sent them to was varied and unpredictable. But I felt like it was the only way to really "keep in touch" and share my experiences with all the people I loved while I was gone.
Now it's 2007 and I'm about to leave the country again -- possibly for a much longer time -- and again, I am interested in keeping in touch with friends and family, and in sharing my experiences living, working, and travelling in Europe. But now, with all these crazy technological advances, we have blogs! Now that's progress! But seriously, I'm happy to say that I can say good-bye to writing group emails, and you all can say good-bye to reading them.
This blog will be my main means of communicating with those who are interested in being communicated to. Those who don't want to read it, don't have to. You can also write to me, as per usual, at tjmackinnon@gmail.com and I'll write back!
Please keep in touch, and please come and visit!!
