About me:
I’m a university student majoring International Studies with a focus on Asian Studies. I aspire to travel the world and accomplish something great one day. My family is important and my friends keep me smiling. I don’t have the slightest clue where I will be in the next 5 years, but I am crossing my fingers for something good. Wish me luck.
Places I’ve traveled to (besides Canada and the US):
- China (3x) & Hong Kong
- Japan
- Mexico
- South Korea (2x) (VERY briefly though)
- Thailand (2x)
- Vietnam (3x)

About this blog:
It’s pretty random…It’s whatever is on my mind! It ranges from stories about my life, to movie reviews, to jdramas, to photography, and whatever I feel like sharing to the world. There isn’t a real focus besides me being me and chatting away =D

Hey, Jfo, I did not really know where to post this, but I really like the pictures you take, so I was wondering if you had higher resolutions than on flickr, or pictures that I can download, because I’d really like to have some of them as wallpapers.
Thanks.

flyingcrispi: thank you so much! hmm if you tell me which photos you were looking at, I could put em up on megaupload in a zip file if that works?

Anthony: hahah, I’m pretty sure you’re still leading. And that’s exactly why I’m poor…It’ll be awhile before I can get my own place it looks. You change your domain way too often
11, January 2009 at 1:57 pm
wow i envy you! i hope i can do the same when i get to college, travelling in asia is part of my very many dreams =D
12, January 2009 at 8:47 am
carissa: ha don’t be envious, just make sure you go out there and do it! it’ll be one of the greatest opportunities there is. On my trip to Vietnam this past summer with 2 of my friends, we did volunteer work at temples and orphanages and it was something I’ll never forget. The people you meet, the food you eat, and etc are worth more than words will ever explain.

Hi there. I stumbled on your blog by googling IVHQ Vietnam. I’m considering participating in the program. Would you mind if I asked you some questions about your experience via email? Thanks!
26, May 2009 at 5:50 pm
Hi Qlam, that’s awesome that you’re interested in the program! Did you go through my 5-part series of my experience in Vietnam? Most of those will cover in detail things about the program. As for my email, you can contact me at liljetjennie [at] yahoo [dot] com. I look forward to hearing from you!
29, May 2009 at 10:22 am
Hi there,
Would you be able to give me feedback about IVHQ? I am thinking of traveling to India with them this fall, but really want to get impressions of someone who has used them, to make sure they are a safe, legitimate company.
Thanks so much,
Jeannie Page

Jeanie Page: Hi hi, as I stated in the comment above to Qlam, did you read my 5-part series on my experience? That should answer most of the questions on what I felt about the program unless you have specific ones. Also, with my experience, IVHQ played a very minimal role in the volunteer work. IVHQ is purely a company that places you in a location that has volunteer sites set up. After that, it is up to the volunteer program. Hope this was helpful!

Hi, I am interested in donating to the Ky Quang 2 orphanage in 154/4A Le Hoang Phai , Saigon. I searched for the temple online and came upon your page. If you know how I can make this donation, please let me know. Thank you very much for your help.

Dionne: Hi hi, thanks for stopping by. To be honest, I’m not sure of how you can make donations without going there and doing it physically yourself, face to face. We encountered problems while we were there with delivering necessities that volunteers had given to the children at a different orphanage before. The only guarantee is to get someone you know to do it unfortunately.
