HI, I’m Mike Thomas. I grew up in a small town in Maine and then went to school at James Madison University in Virginia. During that time I studied abroad in Spain for a semester and then finished up at JMU with a degree in English and Spanish. After that I taught English in the Czech Republic for a year, which afterward I decided to walk 550 miles across Spain on El Camino de Santiago. After doing that I returned to the US and moved to Washington, DC to work for Georgetown University in their Alumni Relations Marketing department. I did that for about two years until I left to start my own web design business. I backpacked around Southeast Asia for two months at the end of 2006 hitting up Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam…I blogged it at www.whereismikenow.blogspot.com/ . Afterward I went home for a year, but now İ live in Turkey for an undetermined amount of time..been here for 4 years and not sure if I or when I will go back to the States…
