BLOG: Just Over Here Playing the Victim

Posted on September 24, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Wednesday afternoon. My hunt for an apartment is turning up nothing but shit so far. Today I went to look at an Airbnb listing and was denied the wifi needed to use WhatsApp to call the landlord down by the front desk staff. I ended up wandering over to a...Read More

BLOG: Pleasantly Surprised

Posted on September 22, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Greetings from Malaysia! Currently sitting in a little cafe I found around the corner of my apartment while in search of coffee and pastries for my usual morning routine. Stayed for lunch and the most delicious peach iced tea I’ve ever tasted. This is definitely my new spot. Spent the...Read More

BLOG: Malay, Malay

Posted on September 21, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Sunday night, technically Monday morning. Here I am in Malaysia after an absolutely TERRIBLE travel day. I won’t go into detail. Let’s just say I hate airports and I hate flying, especially when shit that is completely out of my control keeps going wrong. If there is an airport on...Read More

BLOG: Spice Up Your Life

Saturday afternoon. Currently sitting in a random cafe having a Bloody Mary. They brought me a taste tester because it was allegedly “spicy.” It is not spicy by my standards, but I also make mine with A LOT of extra hot sauce. Everywhere in SEA claims their food and drinks...Read More

Friday morning. Sitting out on the balcony with my coffee. Just got off the phone with my brother. I miss him so much. I miss my cat. They’re both doing okay, but still, I miss them… Got my next trip planned, so it’s time to start booking things. I’m just...Read More

BLOG: Being a Writer, Day 2

Posted on September 15, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Tuesday morning. Woke up in the middle of the night after a super weird dream. I’m not sure if it was Andrew, the Rare Pokémon, or Merrick who appeared, but it was definitely one of them. I think it was the Rare Pokémon because that was the vibe. He didn’t...Read More

BLOG: Cheeseburger in Paradise

Posted on September 14, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Sunday afternoon! Currently sitting at what is clearly the best burger joint in Bali with a large Bintang (local beer) with an order of cheese fries and a cheeseburger on deck. It’s right down the street from my new apartment. Good choices were made, good choices were made. Fuck being...Read More

BLOG: A New Dawn, A New Day

Posted on September 13, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Sunday morning. Alone in the villa. This is the first time I’ve actually been alone in three weeks. Everyone else has departed. They’ve all set off on whatever adventure finds them next. Meanwhile, it’s back to business as usual for me. Waiting for my coffee and croissant to be delivered,...Read More

BLOG: Last Friday Night

Posted on August 22, 2025August 22, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Friday evening. Last night hanging out in my little Thai apartment in Bangkok. What am I doing? Watching my laundry dry. Literally. There's actually something quite meditative about the way the water droplets drip through the clothes and fall onto the tile floor of the balcony. As to be expected,...Read More
