RTW TRAVELER PROFILE - Laura Clark
Laura Clark is busting her butt working two jobs to make her RTW dream a reality in January. Her Mum wishes she could join her on her year-long trek to SE Asia, the Pacific and the States, but Laura isn't sure about what her friends think of her "annoyingly excited" attitude. She's hoping they think she's excited "in a cute way, not 'Oh-my-god-someone-kill-her-now-just-to-shut-her-up' way." By taking on the world, Laura anticipates that this trip will greatly change her life and hopefully give her some insight on what she wants to do with it!

THE BOOTBLOG
Exciting and fun things are happening at the Portland office! Donovan got married on August 21st to his lovely wife Carrie at a beautiful castle in Washington, and promises to upload pictures eventually. To celebrate their honeymoon, the duo headed over to Bali to soak up some sun and will be spending some time with Nick while they're there.
BootsnAll has also been getting some air time, along with BnA members Matt and Robin who talked about their upcoming trip on Fox TV.

BOOTSNALL IN BALI
Nick headed to Singapore last week for a super quick visa run that also included a tequila shopping spree at the duty free and a couple of bribes when he returned to Bali. Although the trip was exhausting, it didn't stop him from planning his next travels to the Gili Islands in a few weeks.
Nick has also been catching up with old friends who recently moved back to Bali. On Sunday, he headed to Dreamland Beach with Mike to enjoy some ocean time, and visited the Monkey Forest last week.
