Patchogue Resident Makes Travel Doc

Morgan DeBois, a Patchogue-Medford High School class of 2005 alum, moved to Thailand in November 2011 and shot a 46-minute video about herself and other women that left home for something to experience something completely different.

"I hear so many people talking about packing it all up and leaving and searching for a purpose or for something more exciting and fulfilling," wrote DeBois to Patch in an email. "These people rarely ever board the plane to do so. I'm not sure what stops them."

DeBois said she was motivated to leave her Patchogue home in part due to difficulties finding a job, and found one in Thailand teaching English for a kindergarten program.
