During my trip around the world, I spent three weeks in Cambodia, a fascinating country with a beautiful ancient history and a horrible recent one. From Angkor Wat, one of the most beautiful sights in the world, to reading about the horrors of the Khmer Rouge, I learned a lot about what life is in Cambodia. Not to mention what I learned from the whordes of western expats living in Cambodia…

I added some more photos from my world tour to the Media section of the website. It’s a compilation of all the amazing sunsets and sunrises that I saw during the trip. Go check it out!

A job update. I’ve accepted a temporary, one months position with Iraq Summer. Iraq Summer is a project to try to build grassroots pressure against targeted members of Congress in the same way that Mississippi summer build help raise awareness for the civil rights movement and Vietnam summer helped to end the war in Vietnam. I’ll be leaving Kansas City and moving to some state or congressional district on August 5th, the day after my two friends Ryan Lowell and Danielle Bartel get married.

With this job, I hope to get a taste of what real grassroots organizing is about, and help put pressure on our target to stop supporting Bush’s disastrous war and to bring our troops home now.

And also, if you’re noticed, I’ve upgraded the site and bought my own domain, NithinCoca.com and have added some videos from my trip around the world. Soon, I’ll be adding a ton of photos, other media, and much, much more. The biggest project that I am working on, a 10-15 minute movie/slideshow of my entire world tour, with photos and music from all the places I visited, should be up hopefully within a week. Stay tuned for more!

I’ll be heading on a family vacation tomorrow, so no entries until I return on June 25th. But don’t despair, you can get better info at the political blogs on the blogroll.

Voyager of the seas, here I come!

Welcome to my new political, environmental, and social blog. Taking over where WorldTrippers left off, this blog will catalog my adventures in the real world, from training in the midwest, to hopefully working on an ‘08 campaign.

Let’s get it started.

This weekend I’ll be heading to Omaha for a Young Democrats of America conference, in Nebraska, possibly the least Democratic state in the union. Should still be a good time, though. Bill Richardson is the keynote speaker.
