Remarks:
“Walking home in the rain feeling slightly defeated after another 12 hour day in the office… shove my hands in my coat pockets to stay warm only to find my visa line number from Côte d’Ivoir. Smile quietly to myself at the memory of being in a completely different world only a few short days ago ❤️” – Gina Fortunato
“Thank you for showing me some of africa and asia for the first time 🤩 can’t wait to come back to istanbul for meat moot and hamams and i’ll update you about the wedding on sunday!!” – Jillian Kailuna
“You know… all the feels, been writing a bit off and on this time though. Processing it all. Thank you for helping me get out of my comfort zone once again in a place I would have never dreamed of going before. Feeling very tired and reflective. And very glad to have kbbq to look forward to this weekend❤️❤️❤️” – Gina Fortunato
“Made time to disconnect and reconnect with myself. Despite my adventures this past year I feel significantly more introverted in comparison to the rest of my life prior. I take the Meyers-Briggs annually and have gotten ENFP consistently the last 3 years but changed to INFP this year. I know these tests aren’t all-encompassing but it made me wonder what factors have influenced me.
Earlier this year I left a horrible living situation that was so traumatizing to the point where I’d rather walk the streets alone at night than come home. I was so stressed that i had hives for 8 months straight. After my first monsoon to west africa with @monsoondiaries (another story), I finally decided to literally stop living in fear.
I scrambled finding a new apartment in the off-season, re-reading the fine print of my lease, finding a subleaser, and to somehow pick up my life and move (again) by myself. 2 weeks later I had a new home with a balcony and a gorgeous rooftop view of the city. i could watch the sunset every night and finally feel safe in my own home. my change in environment was definitely the biggest factor in my personality type change, which makes a lot of sense as to why i suddenly love staying in now.
I don’t think it’s good or bad that to be either intro- or extroverted, but it was different. I wanted to really analyze how my life has been recently, & right now I feel like a different person, like I need to get to know myself again. I find my interactions with people now are not what I would’ve expected from the Jill I was a few years ago, or the Jill I thought I was until now.
People are the second factor, although I guess you could lump that under environment. Am I feeling antisocial because l’m tired? Or do I not remember how to socialize without facilitation? Or maybe l’m just more content in solitude and no longer seek as much external interaction as I sought before?
Anywho, I’m very happy with my life & who I am now but I still want to be better, & I do so by surrounding myself with genuine people that make me want to be better. This was just going to be another waiting-for-the-train ootd, but wanted to share what’s been on my mind lately” – Jillian Kailuna

Remarks: “Calvin, on paper, is a lot of things, but underneath a pile of degrees and humour is just a genuinely good person. So genuinely good. The honour of travelling with him made me feel like a better person, and I will never be able to thank him. During the inevitable moments of difficulty in weird and wacky places was a person to laugh with and reflect on life’s privileges.
A trip with Calvin is unforgettable. Not only do you get free medical advice, but you also have a friend for life and then some memories. His company stands above some sights—no offence to the landmarks.
The only good thing is that I know it is not a goodbye, but a see you later. So until we travel again, you’ll be missed and remembered for a trip of a lifetime!” – Paris Hailwood

Remarks:
“Thank you for having me on this trip and creating an environment and space for strangers to meet each other where they would’ve never been able to under any other circumstances. This monsoon reaffirms my belief that we are all just looking for genuine human interactions, so we may feel less alone in this world and learn to be more confident in ourselves, especially during our darkest and loneliest times. That journey requires and leads us to reflect and refine our values, personalities, beliefs, behaviors, and actions. While I may not have been outspoken throughout this brief time together, it is not a sign of disinterest or apathy. Rather, I’m observing and reflecting, so that I can try to make some sense out of all these seemingly unrelated forces at play.
During orientation, you said you always fuck up somehow on your trips, and by default, disappoint people. I beg to differ. You brought people to together and allowed them to bond together to figure shit out. Thank you for promoting and cultivating such an inclusive experience that I will cherish forever. So, nothing to be anxious about. You’re doing a great job, and despite not having ramen, the ocean view from the restaurant is more than enough.” – Anonymous

We’ll see everyone somewhere on the road ahead, or most likely in NYC🗽!” – Liane
“Just boarded my international flight in Seoul to start my long journey back to KC. Thank you y’all for such a wonderful monsoon!! It was extremely meaningful getting to experience my own culture and where I’m from for the 1st time, and you all made it special🫶🏼. Lmk if you’re ever in KC and I’ll take you for bbq🤩” – Ginna Dammann
“Back in Seoul~ lovely meeting all of you, such a great group of people💛 reach out if you ever want to come back and our times align again~ see some of you back in New York or this summer! 🌞” – Christina
“At my gate headed to Seoul! It’s been awesome meeting and traveling with all of you! See some of you in Seoul and the rest very soon in future trips!” – Sujay Sheth

“Thank you to everyone who I met on this epic Monsoon. So many adjectives to describe how this adventure was. It is hard to put into words. Love to each and every one. I hope to see you in NYC or on other Monsoons. Miss all of you already!! This is not goodbye but see you later!❤️❤️🫂🫂” – Cindy Kulpohongpatana
“Thank you everyone. Had an amazing experience with all of you. Though it was only a few days for me, it truly felt that I spent the whole week with you guys. I’ll see you all either in Seoul, nyc, and happily anywhere in the world.” – Paul Woo
“Made it home! Thanks again for all the memories! Best moments in three sentences or less would be…running to catch the DMZ bus and making it by the skin of our teeth, 90 second dance party in a photo booth for 10 with 20 people crammed in, and sunsets with peanut ice cream by the ocean. So many more to choose from but y’all are amazing and I couldn’t imagine traveling with anyone else ♥️” – Jenny Schultz
“Flew to JeJu Volvanic Island. Got stuck in an elevator. Sang karaoke. Hit the cafes, lava tubes, beaches, and waterfalls. Frolicked in the flowers. Jammed to K-pop. Awed at the cuteness of EVERYTHING. Thank you @monsoondiaries for leading the way and all the other monsooners for making South Korea such an incredible trip” – Nicole Jensen
“This memory will last a while, thanks @monsoondiaries along with those long convos in Part Il.” – Liane Wong
“Thank you everyone for making this monsoon possible. I truly enjoyed all of the conversations I’ve had with each of you, however long, brief, or fragmented they were. I believe those are more memorable than the places we visited. Ok, maybe the following are comparable:
– finding famous Netflix lady’s stand and seeing some of you eat a second dinner, or to the point where you almost vomited.
-shisha LED lights
-when I posed for a pic thinking I was a flower
-picking live seafood for dinner
-listening with wide eyes to a 6am history lesson
-cooking then eating ramen on the steps by a river, like a hobo
-being rejected by an inanimate object: nasam cable car
-seeing 6 napkins blocking the millions of bbq pork oil particles from splashing on your skin
– tangerine coffee
– view of seoul from the mens restroom
Guys, I’m legit tearing. Writing this makes me reflect a lot.” – Eric Ma

Remarks:
“I’ve been taking your advice to journal. This reminded me of what I wrote this weekend (not polished or refined by any means, but a note to myself after time spent pondering life while walking in the city):
‘I have come to realize over the course of this past year that it no longer matters so much what I do, but with whom.
Surround yourself with people of all different walks of life; backgrounds, passions; emotions; experiences. And share life with them from the mundane to the “significant”. We are all just visitors in these bodies so we might as well enjoy the trip together. Our time will always be too short. Let us not waste it.'” – Anonymous

Remarks:
“This was my absolute favorite monsoon. I say that a lot though? 🥰” – Mihaela K.
“I did a random search for adventure travel and came upon this company (@monsoondiaries) that had a trip planned to Syria (a country I had been wanting to visit prior to their civil war). So I signed up.
We met up in Beirut the night before our drive to Damascus, and although, I was the odd man out as the only person who didn’t already know anyone, I immediately clicked with one person, then more as the trip went on. I went in with no expectations beyond hoping my roommate and I would get along (we did – she’s been to over 120 countries).
We road, ate, learned, hammamed, danced, sang (WAP included), laughed and sweated together (that #Syrian heat was a killer) and I miss them.
I’m glad I jumped in and took a chance going to this fascinating and wonderful country with an amazing bunch of strangers.” – Leshawn Anderson
“I’ve always traveled with a small group of friends or family. But only since last October, I’ve found a joy in #solotraveling. I love the flexibility and freedom in it.
I’m not a very social person in a new setting with lots of strangers. So knowing that it’ll be a large group, I was still drawn to signed up for the 7-day #Syria tour with @MonsoonDiaries x @Golden.Team.Syria. It was my fourth multi-day tour ever, and it was my longest – and it was amazing!
I’ve met incredible people.
We explored and learned together. We ate and drank together. We danced and sang together. We created wonderful memories, in a beautiful country, that’ll last a lifetime.” – Melinda Kwok
“Calvin your last blog post was really beautiful . . . glad to have been [apart of it] . . . Anyone else feeling like all of it is a bit surreal? Having gone to and left the area when we did.” – Rajani Mohan
“Yes, so much so.” – Amelia Shillingford
“I struggle with putting my rambling thoughts and all sorts of feelings into words that make sense in text and in voice. So, I admire people that can speak effortlessly and engaging, even telling the simplest stories.
One of those people is Calvin.
Calvin’s writing is captivating. In his latest blog post about Syria, the trip I had the privilege of being a part of, captures all the feels I had and the things I miss about the surreal week we shared together in a wonderful country. Have a read!I love it a lot!” – Melinda Kwok
“Hi! Just wanted to personally thank you for inviting me to the Syria trip. My heart still feels so full. I feel humbled and grateful at the same time! Beyond the amazing group of new people I met, my eyes have been even-more opened to the beauty and importance of traveling and experiencing other cultures. I can’t believe Syria was my 4th country to ever visit!
I think this trip has been one of the most monumental moments of my life thus far, and I cannot wait to see more of the world. Thank you!
My heart is still so full lol 😭❤️” – Chris Franz
“I had a great time and glad I signed up…Everyone was very welcoming!” – Leshawn Anderson
