Here I Go, Again (...on my own)

Shout out to Whitesnake for the title. At least I'm pretty sure Whitesnake sings that song. But anyway...

So this is my second attempt at blogging while abroad.  As some of you may know, my last blog, Just Plain Ryan, went under when I run into an e-mail snafu that caused Google to shut me down.  Fortunately, I now know why that happened, and therefore will be able to keep this blog up and running during my entire sojourn in Indonesia.  Just so you know, I did not misspell the name of my blog... Since my last blog was Just Plain Ryan, I had to choose a new domain name, and therefore chose "Just Plane Ryan." Personally I am happy with the name change because while the meaning of the blog remains the same, it also now incorporates a mathematical term! I think it fits.

As for an introduction to this blog, I'll say nearly the same thing I originally put out in my last blog.  Just Plane Ryan is meant to be an account of my travels abroad in Indonesia, as well as possibly some reflective posts on previous trips I've taken since being in college. (I actually unearthed some of the old material from my Australia trip and can repost it! Haha!) So just remember that you're welcome to read posts by subject by clicking on the "tags" that should appear on the top of the page. (Unfortunately I will be posting from my iPad so I have no idea what the format will look like on a computer, but we'll work through that together!) 

I hope you all enjoy reading this as much as I will enjoy writing it.  And just so you know, I will not grill any of you on my trip details once I get home, so don't feel as though you have to read if you don't want to. This blog is for your enjoyment as well as mine, so read as much or as little as you like. I can always recount stories in person when I see you next :)  

I want to thank all of you for reading and putting up with my ramblings! If you need me, feel free to contact me at justplaneryan@gmail.com. You all have been a crucial part of my life thus far, and I would love to share my journey with each and everyone of you - hopefully this blog allows us to accomplish that.

And lastly a quote: “Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.” ― Albert Camus

Talk to you soon,

Ryan
