As I'm sure you can imagine, 2013 was a pretty eventful year, I left my job, my friends, my family and everything I knew and booked a one way ticket. Some people called me crazy, some even called me stupid but I know it is the best life decision that I have ever made. I have experienced things, met some great friends and made memories that will last a lifetime. I have now been away 6 months and boy has it flown by and so to whittle it down to a few simple highlights will be no easy task, but here goes (not in any particular order...):
1. Sri Lanka - Retracing my Grans's footprints was an emotional roller coaster for me. Just from seeing her via FaceTime, I know how much it meant to her. The country has touched my heart and I can't wait to go back!!
2. F1 in Singapore- The most amazing weekend of my life - enough said!
3. Vietnam - A country that I have always wanted to visit and thankfully I got the chance to do it with Raj. I loved how crazy it was and even though I hated the motorbike rides (Raj will hold me to that) I actually got used to them after a while. Having just re-watched Top Gear's Vietnam Special, I would compare myself somewhat to Jezza Clarkson. Obviously not his brash personality or grey locks but his hatred which transcended into love for motorbikes.
4. Spending time with the family :). It may have been 3 months but it went by so quickly. Thank you Marcus and Bri, I will never forget what you did for me.
5. Angkor Wat- what a stunning piece of architecture. I will never forget that sunrise.
6. Koh Phi Phi and 'THE Beach'
7. Margaret River- wine, cheese, camping and beautiful sandy beaches
8. Thai Cookery Course in Chiang Mai
9. Meeting Katie in KL and exploring it with a local!
10. Fireworks in Sydney
Here's to an even better 2014 as I continue my journey around the globe
Much love x
