Welcome to my new blog. You might be wondering what is up with the name? "Nam Tasa" is the custom name that I was given by Chief Caspar of the Banks Islands in the Republic of Vanuatu. During my good-bye party Chief Casper and his clan performed a custom dance* for me and bestowed a custom name that means "man that can do anything he sets his mind to."
The name I was given honestly represents many of the challenges I have faced throughout my life and career. Now I find myself once again doing something that is new to me. There is a new language to learn, new culture to figure out, new environment to adjust to, and new food to learn to love. Korea has been fantastic so far. One month down 11 more to go.
Please stay tuned to this blog for updates on the happenings here in Korea and wherever I go in the world. It is the only place to receive "real news" on my travels and adventures. Hence the name, "The Nam Tasa Newsreal."
