Updates, Life in Asia, and Looking for Love

A little update on me.

Currently I am still traveling around Asia, I have been in Korea for about three months

now. Did some web development/advertising work in a big high office (which drove me a

little crazy).

Not sure where I am going after this. It's kind of up in the air.

Been going on a lot of dates and still looking for a woman I can build a relationship with.

I wrote the Herpes Survival Guide this year. That was a lot of work and really put my best

effort into sharing the things that have made a big difference in my life for living happy

and healthy with the Herpes virus.

There is a lot of work to do on this website still and I apologize if I have been late

getting back to some of you.

Well, I am on acronym "coyome" if you're in Asia and would like to get together for some coffee. Or just

send me an email via the Contact Me link.

I hope that all of you are well and living your life to the fullest.

Writing a Herpes Course

Some more big news...

But first...

So I have now been in Chiang Mai for about a month and a half and really loving it.

Getting a lot healthier here. Doing a lot of swimming, walking, drinking fresh juices, prayer and meditation.

I am also going on some dates, nothing serious yet, but really enjoying dating right now. Just enjoy going out with women and having a good time. You take things a lot slower with H.

Mainly I am using this time to write a course on how to live happy and healthy with herpes.

So many of the readers of this website have asked a lot of questions about this so I have decided to put a lot of my best ideas into a course to help others.

So it's been a lot of work. It's the first book I've ever written. So maybe I am trying to make it really good.

It's like 43 pages so far!!! Lots of good information especially exercises to deal with the emotional side of a herpes diagnosis.

Will put a lot of stuff in there about dating also.

It's been fun. Email if you'd like to get a sample chapter.

And please donate to this website if you can. It really helps me to keep on writing.

Big Life Changes (now in Chiang Mai)

Well life takes some strange turns. For the last six months worked in Malaysia as a teacher trainer. However, just did not enjoy it much there. The people were great, the food was good, and the job was interesting.

However, I was just a little bored. It reminded me too much of my life in the suburbs of the United States. Also, not sure if I have shared this before on here...but I have been sober for about 4.5 years now. Yes, not a single drink in that time.

I've done that with the help of a support group. And I could not find that support group where I was living in Malaysia. I could not risk going backward to my life of drinking.

So I did something crazy and resigned my job for my happiness and my health.

Never done anything like that before in my life. it was the right thing to do.

So now I am Laos writing this, in this wonderful city of Vientianne. And will go back to Chiang Mai in a week to go live do a lot more writing on this website and maybe look for a job (yikes) in another country.

Well that's where I am. If you're in the area, contact me through this website and we can get together for some Mango and Sticky Rice somewhere and talk.

Life is good! Though unpredictable!
