Back in Lisbon
From Koh Phangan to Chiang Mai to Singapore to Koh Phangan (again) to Hoi An to Bangkok. Three countries, three months. Flights, ferries, busses, trains. Too many. And now, finally, Lisbon. I'm home. For the first time in months, I feel like I can breathe again. Doing basic things, like

Preparing for my first burn
