Introduction: May 23rd @ 9:00am Milwaukee USA

This is the post before I leave. In 26 hours, I will be on a plane to Tokyo airport and in 45 hours I’ll touch down in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Today is dedicated to getting everything ready to go. I’ll be running around making sure everything is set for tomorrow as well as mentally preparing for the trip of a lifetime.

Bangkok, Thailand. The last stop on our trip.

I’ll try to keep this updated as best I can. I’ll post pictures, videos, stories, insights and anything I find noteworthy along the way. Rest assured, if I don’t post for a while, it’s simply because there is way too much to soak in and put into words! Nevertheless I’ll do my best.

Follow along if you’re interested. This trip is going to be incredibly enlightening for me. I have been dreaming of visiting this part of the world for a while. The history, the culture, the food, the people, the cities, the monuments, the everything is fascinating to me! Mostly, I’m looking forward to seeing the potential these places have. All of the countries were visiting are “emerging markets” and I am looking forward to talking with some companies who are starting to shape the Southeast Asian business landscape.

Take care everyone! The next post will come from the other end of the world!
