I just got back from spending almost two weeks in Thailand searching out the best TRAVEL THERAPY destinations and getting two great travel stories for the ABC News TV travel show I host on ABC News Now.

I’m just going over all my Thailand video and notes now, but one of the things that keeps standing out is how the people of Thailand truly welcome you with open arms. This adorable little girl in the picture, that I met while visiting a temple in Chiang Mai, told me her name was “pancake” and she’s a memember of one of Thailand’s Hill Tribes. Her smile alone made the 26 hour trip from NYC worth it!  Can’t wait to share more stories and video from this special trip to Thailand. Stay tuned!
