I am Thompson Boy: Dreaming about

Sigiriya

Who's thompsonboy?

Instead of wishing I could see the world or be like those lucky bitches on travel programs, I am going to do something about it.

This is me, in my early 30s, gay and Asian and trying to backpack my way to a RTW trip.

Where am I going and when
FAQ - why am I doing this?

I used to work at J. Walter Thompson (advertising agency rebranded as JWT and now rebranded again as J. Walter Thompson) but back in the days, it was called Thompson and boys who work there well, naturally are Thompsonboys (duh).
