A strange world we live in...
My facebook feed just informed me that Parker Hurley accepted my friend request…
So, I am Tarantula sitting for a friend & had to go buy some crickets last night. As I was there, I was complaining about how boring they were & saying well "I think I'd rather have a snake or a gecko because at least they are a little bit cuddly" & the employee looked and me, wrinkled his nose and said "snakes start to stink after a while". This got me thinking about you & your snake, does Chiari stink? LOL! Glad to see you enjoyed your adventures in SE Asia and can't wait to see more photos!
Not at all. I smell more than he does.

I received a 3 month pass to yogaworks here in LA. Came across this article this morning, check it out.
Hey why don't you post some photos of your old trips? :)
Old trips?
Hey Parker! Big fan, and glad to see you're a nerd like me :D. I'm just curious as to what you actually do for exercise? I'm into running, resistance bands, and eating paleo right now.
I do anything/everything that looks fun and challenging. I train at the gym now that I’m back home, as well as run, bike, rock climb, yoga, rings, and… some other stuff…. While I was traveling, I trained with resistance bands, yoga, run, swimming, climbing, muay thai camps, a few local gyms, etc. There is no excuse not to exercise, other than the fact that you are lazy and unimaginative.
Before going to work you should look at all these awesome games they showed at E3 :o
Ungh, I don’t have time for video games right now. Too much to create.
I need to watch the last Game of Thrones…. help me!
I just wanted to say you inspire me to be fit and eat better :D
My pleasure, now go exercise!
Hi, I loved your photos, especially those with children, they were beautiful. I am Brazilian and I love taking pictures too, you know Brazil (?), here is very beautiful. So actually passed to say hi and say I enjoyed the photos. Kisses!
I’ve never been but I’d like to make my way there soon. I’m very close with a lovely brazilian girl, so maybe I’ll be there sooner than later.
Cow Town? Have you been to those local stores?
The Flea Market? Oh yeah, every time I come home I get a roasted chicken from there and then chow down with hands only.
how are you liking cambodia?! i haven't been there in forever!
My heart is still in Cambodia.
I gots lots of ?'s 4 u as I'm a curious kitten & a fellow wanderer. Do you have any recommendations for good travel footwear & backpacks? When you travel do you bring anything special with you of personal significance? Thx for sharing, love to u!
I traveled exclusively in Keen sandals. They were great. Just backpacked through Shenandoah in them also. I’ve been using an Osprey backpack for over 5 years now.
theres somthing about your picture both that uve taken and ur in... i dont know they interest me.. ur good at what you do i guess im saying :)
Thanks!
Have you ever watched Doctor Who before?
Nope.
Love the blog! How do u keep up with your fitness and diet while traveling?
I exercise whenever/wherever I can.
Hi Parker, big fan of yours, sorry if this is too personal but how were you diagnosed with Chiari malformation, I've been doing some reading on it and with risk of sounding like a hypochondriac have quite a lot of the symptoms. I appreciate this is personal and it's fine if you don't reply. thanks anyways, enjoy the rest of your trip!Kris
Get an MRI if you can afford it.
What would you do if you were not afraid?
The only thing I’m really afraid of is getting hurt. When I’m sick, and I can’t exercise, I go CRAZY!
when did you get discovered as a model
A little over 3 years ago?
Your trip has been extremely inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure. I hope it inspires others to travel.
did you get to play with the monkeys and ride elephants there?! (:
The monkeys looked feral. I got pretty close to a few elephants but no riding. In hindsight, I wish I had played with them.
Have you ever been in greece?
No unfortunately. Greece was originally a stop on my Eurotrip but we didn’t make it. We went to Croatia instead, which was beyond amazing.
How many countries have you traveled so far? And which country would you wanna visit the most? PS: Love your tattoos. c:
Spain, France, Belgium, Switzerland, England, Netherlands, Czech Republic, British Columbia, Jamaica, Bahamas, Croatia, Germany, Prague, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam…. I think that’s it…. My favorite? I can’t answer that. Next, I want to go to China or India.
what does your mom think about your ink? what was your first tattoo?
She wasn’t too happy about it at first. Then she sat down, took a good look at it, and said “Well, ok, it is pretty beautiful.”
