Tuesday evening. Chillin’ in my room at the end of a very good day. I am having a very good experience here at the yoga shala in Bali. I love the group of people in my cohort. I cannot state enough what a breath of fresh air it is to...Read More

BLOG: Okay, You Got My Attention

Thursday. Checked my email today and apparently my creepy stalker that I’ve had for years is still hanging around. So creepy and weird. Like, bro, get over it already. I’m obviously out in the world learning new things and absorbing new information, unlike you. “What about that time you said...Read More

BLOG: What Was That?

Posted on August 13, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Wednesday night. Somehow made it home after the ridiculous situation I got myself into on this night. Oy vey. I went to the American Bar. There was no one there. It was okay because I realized I just wanted to be somewhere comfortable and familiar. Somehow that place reminds me...Read More

Monday morning. 6am. Bright and early. I've been awake for some time already. So many thoughts jumbling around in my head. So many thoughts. What would the Buddha do? Sit under a tree and just vibe. My interview is in 23 hours. I'm not nervous. It's just the recruiter. I...Read More

Thursday. Omg. Last night was definitely the drunkest I’ve been since I got to SEA. No bueno. It’s because I was hanging out with my Irish relatives. It is what it is. I am still drunk, I think? I don’t remember how I got home. I got lost at the...Read More

Wednesday afternoon. Finally left the house to get some errands done. Stopped by my favourite little American dive bar on the way back to see if anyone interesting is here. There is no one here. Instead the song playing on the radio was called “Don’t Pull Out.” It felt like...Read More

Monday morning. Bright and early. Sitting out in the park with my coffee. Watching the neighborhood wake up and come to life. Listening to the birds sing. So peaceful and beautiful. Yesterday I learned a very fun aspect of Thai culture, which is “Save power by sitting in the dark...Read More

Thursday morning. I’ve officially been in Thailand for a month. I am moving into my new place tomorrow for a second month. I still have no idea what I’m doing. It’s fine! Last night was pretty crazy. I couldn’t handle the rooftop vibe so I decided to venture out in...Read More

BLOG: “I’m Extending My Stay”

Posted on July 28, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Monday afternoon. Here I am. They say Thailand is “The Land of Smiles,” but the tagline should really be “I’m extending my stay.” There is just no way I am getting on a plane to India after what happened last night. It’s just a big Nope for me. Nope. Just…...Read More
