Hey there. My name is Hilary and I'm 17. I grew up in one of the most incredibly beautiful places in the world, Jackson Hole, Wyoming and I am very fortuate for that. Yet still all I really want to do with my life is travel and see all there is to see and experiance every culture there is in this amazing world. That's why I am currently a foreign exchange student in rural northeastern Thailand. As of now I've been here almost 8 months and I'll be back at the end of May. I wish I could just sit and write down every detail of what it's like to live with natives in a village in southeast asia. But I just don't think I'll ever be able to convey all that I've seen and experianced to someone who hasn't been here themselves. Not that I don't want to, it's just that the feeling have yet to surface as words. That said, I'd like to think that the photographs I've taken here can speak more than I ever could get across. I just hope that everyone someday can have similar experiances that open up the world for them. See you all in a few months! Choke dee na ka!To keep up with me and my trip visit my photo acount at
