I know there are many things that I will miss from Thailand when I go home, such as cheap transportation, all kinds of food, the hot weather and the sweet pineapple, but right now here are some things I miss from home.

My family and friends of course!

My roommate’s dogs Jack and Etta and all my roomies

Megan, Nyssa and Sonja

Cuddling up in our living room on the couch with TV and hot coco

The snow (this is JUST because it’s so hot here, I really can’t believe I’m writing this)

My co-op

Good beer

Magazines (Self, Fitness, Elle, Vogue, pretty much anything in English)

Food from the Summit (SHOCKING!) and other restaurants like India Café, Formosa, Chipotle, Atlas, the list goes on
