And So Our Adventure Ends... For Now
September 23, 2022 in Singapore ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
Jess’ final words:
The last 3 months have been nothing short of a real adventure. This really has been the best 3 months of our lives. It's been extremely eye opening to see different ways of living, different cultures, people and attitudes. We've learnt so much, come away thinking twice about what real problems are as well as what life is really all about. On many occasions I've been pushed out of my comfort zone, with the spontaneous 'go with flow' way of living definitely taking me some time to get used to but this has all added to my personal journey. And to say this was all done out of a single backpack - yes I managed this!
6 countries, 33 locations, 13 flights, 11 boat crossings, 7 bus journeys, 2 trains and countless scooter rides, taxis and tuk tuks. We leave Asia with the most unforgettable memories. It has been such an incredible experience and to top it off we return home as fiancés. Farewell for now Southeast Asia… you've been a blast, but we will definitely be back!
Dan’s final words:
What a truly life changing experience! Southeast Asia really is a wonderful part of the world filled with some of the happiest people, stunning views, beautiful culture and delicious food. So many memories have been made from diving in Thailand, Kuang Si falls in Laos, an engagement in Vietnam, Angkor Wat in Cambodia, Ubud in Bali, Mount Rinjani of Lombok and so much more, all whilst living out of a backpack. Our adventure has continued to emphasise what really matters in life. It’s not about the items you own, nor the money you have but it’s about creating lasting memories, making the most out of what you have and being happy no matter how difficult times may seem as I can assure you, we really do have it okay in comparison to some.
We’ve really struggled to name our favourite country given there is such variety out there but after much deliberation we have finally given the top spot to Indonesia with Thailand right behind. That being said we’ve loved every single minute and genuinely would not hesitate to get back on a plane tomorrow if we could. It really was an experience of a lifetime and I would happily recommend it anyone!Read more
