Hey Adam – Sorry for keeping you on the internet longer than you were supposed to! But I’m happy that you enjoyed the story. If you ever make it over to Cambodia, be sure to take that train…I have a feeling its an adventure every single time it runs.

Thanks so much for adding your comments!

What an amazing story. I was only meant to be on the internet for a couple of minutes but had to keep reading.

Thanks for sharing -I’ve already found myself talking about this story today with friends.

Earl,

Great site. I have a cruise ship question. I’m thinking about working on a ship for six months to a year, and I noticed you worked on a ship for a while. Right now I’m a logistics officer in the US Army, so I’m sure I can apply some skills to ship life. Are there certain companies you recommend? What can I expect for pay? Do I have to sign a contract or can I do just six months?

Thanks and keep up the good work!

At the moment I’m in Mexico as I’ve been down here for the past five months or so working on improving my Spanish. But I make it out to SE Asia at least once or twice every year!

Maybe next time I get out that way I’ll have to try the motorbike method of travel – I’m sure that leads to plenty of stories to tell as well!!

I haven’t, actually. I’m more of motor bike type of chick. Where are you now? Or do I need to wait for your next post?

Thanks for sharing your journey. I look forward to the next round!

Hey Nate – Great to hear from you as always! I think it’s quite liberating to undo the mindset that life is all about achieving specific goals and arriving at specific destinations in order to progress. When we start to appreciate and benefit from every step of the journey, the value of every experience increases infinitely.

It all seems to come back to that idea of living in the moment over and over again!

Wonderful story Earl! This goes to show you that the journey itself is the experience. I don’t see there being any beginnings or endings. It’s all about living in the moment and accepting whatever that moment brings us, even if it’s a 5mph train ride!

Hi Nelia! I’m actually not in Cambodia at the moment and this story was actually from a couple of years ago. But for some reason the other day I was thinking about this particular train journey and decided to write about it! I know you spend time in Cambodia, have you ever taken the train over there??? Surely if you’ve eaten the tarantulas you’d be able to survive the train!
